Manuel Quiring

beautiful coffee table made of a custom hand-made welded iron base and a slice of completely natural fossilized wood log from Madagascar dating back to the Jurassic period. The wooden slab is simply placed on the base
This is a wide round of petrified wood (Araucaria) from Ambilobe, Madagascar. Araucaria is a coniferous tree in the family that includes the modern Monkey Puzzle tree. This 220 million year old petrified wood has been sliced and polished on both sides, allowing the stunning inner wood detail and beautiful coloration to easily be seen.
Petrified wood is the name given to wood that has been turned into stone (fossilized) through the process of permineralization. In this process, all of the organic matter becomes replaced by minerals, while much of the original structure, such as tree rings, is retained. For this to happen, the wood needs to be buried in an environment low in oxygen to prevent decomposition and with flowing, mineral-laden water, so minerals may replace structures. The coloration is caused by various minerals/impurities present in the water during fossilization. For example, red colors in many cases can be attributed to iron compounds, greens due to copper, and so on
