This necklace depicts Euglena, one of the most popular and commonly studied of the unicellular critters that abound in waters worldwide! This versatile organism, which can acquire nutrients both heterotrophically (by consuming external food), and autotrophically (through photosynthesis) has amazed scientists since the dawn of microscopy, and was one of the first hints that the traditional division of life into two kingdoms (plants and animals) was insufficient.

A hinge concealed at one end of the pendant allows you to peer within, at Euglena’s internal structure. Chloroplasts, paramylon bodies, and other structures are all depicted in exacting detail. A great educational fashion accessory that will change the way you think of pond scum forever!
