Modern Wunderkammer - Fossil Wood - Araucaria Slab on Turned Brass Base - Fossil fragment

A slice of fossilized Araucaria wood from the Triassic, a fragment of an ancient world preserved for millions of years through a unique fossilization process. This wood, dating back to a distant geological era, has been gradually transformed by Mother Nature into an expression of timeless beauty and history.
Its formation is a long and fascinating story. In ancient times, this wood was part of a forest of Araucaria, a coniferous tree that dominated the Earth during the Triassic period. After its fall, this tree was buried under sediment and rocks for millennia. During this time, minerals present in the groundwater began to infiltrate the wood, slowly replacing the organic matter and preserving its original cellular structure.
The result of this process is a unique geological work of art, where the fossilized wood has taken on a new life, transforming into a precious stone of the Earth. Expertly mounted on a turned brass base, this slice of fossilized wood is now ready to convey its beauty and history in your office or make a remarkable gift for someone special.
