Description from the seller
This extraordinary cube of petrified wood merges the natural beauty of fossilized wood with a modern geometric form. The contrasting color gradients from cream white through brown to deep black reveal the original wood texture, which over millions of years has been replaced and preserved by minerals.
The sharp edges of the cube meet the organic grain of the once-living tree, creating a fascinating interplay between nature and design. Each side reveals new patterns and makes this piece a unique eye-catcher.
Petrified Wood Cube
Weight: 2365.81 g
Size: 100x100 mm
Treatment: None
Origin: Indonesia
It is a fossil wood dating back 200 million years, all parts from a log or branches have been silicified, meaning that organic components were little by little replaced by silicon in the form of jasper, chalcedony and more rarely opal. Without the organic parts, all the living matter was replaced by stone: there are growth rings, cell separations, almost like worm cracks.
Its features are those of the mineral that would have pseudo-transformed the wood: the silicon.
And that’s what we call a "petrified wood" in the common language.
