AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This extraordinary shell is a genuine collector's item from nature: made from fossil wood (petrified wood) from Sumatra, Indonesia, and then meticulously hand-polished to a high gloss. The surface displays a fascinating, natural pattern of warm earth and honey tones, dark contrasts, and fine lines – each detail resembling a snapshot of geological time.
The special thing: the material itself is ancient – the fossil wood is dated to approximately 12 to 26.5 million years ago. This means that this bowl is not just decoration, but a tangible witness to history that immediately creates presence in any room – as an elegant holder for jewelry/watches, as a statement piece on a sideboard or table, or as a stylish collector's and design object.
