The motif of the salmon as the oldest
and wisest of animals is common all over Europe.
In the
Irish story there was a sacred well in Ireland,
and over this well grew a hazel tree. Every nine
years the hazel tree would produce red berries
which fell into the well; berries that contained
all the wisdom of the world. There were salmon
living in the well that were as old as the world
itself. As the hazel berries fell into the well
the salmon would eat them. From these berries
they gained wisdom, and their characteristic pink
colour.
These
salmon come into later hero tales where they are
caught and accidentally eaten by various warrior
heroes such as Cuchullain and Finn MacCumhail.

All
ear wires are made of Niobium. Niobium (Nb) is a
soft grey ductile metallic element, also known as
columbium that can be coloured with currents of
electricity. Along with titanium, tantalum,
zirconium, pure refined gold, and platinum it is
one of the six most bio-compatible elements.
Even people with severe metal allergies can
usually wear niobium.
