Gem Pursuit

Bog Oak


Listen Later

The third and final part of our St Patrick's series for March (a few days late!).

The prevalance of bog in Ireland makes us one of the best places in the world to find the unusual material known as Bog Oak and it makes some amazing jewellery.

Matthew and Alyce talk through how Bog Oak is formed, how it has been used to make jewellery and share some of their favourite examples from history.

Matthew also shares the incredible story of the Bog Oak piece that was hidden in the shop for 40 years!
