Natural large 67.8kg fossilized wood bowl from Indonesia. from Indonesia- 67801.78 g

This monumental bowl made of fossilized wood is a true masterpiece of geological history — weighing an impressive 67.8 kg and commanding immediate attention. It originates from Indonesia, one of the world's most renowned regions for exceptional quality fossilized wood. Its organic shape recalls the tree's former vitality, while the smoothly polished surface reveals the ancient grain in finely nuanced shades of brown, cream, and beige.

Especially fascinating are the fine, sometimes crystalline veins of agate and quartz that run like geological artworks through the wood fossil. These inclusions subtly sparkle in the light, adding depth and an noble complexity to the already impressive structure of the shell. Every line, every fiber tells the story of millions of years of earth history, captured in a piece that now gains new significance as a functional and decorative object.

Petrified wood results from a natural process of silification, during which organic material is replaced by minerals and transformed into stone over long periods. This shell is not only a unique piece of extraordinary beauty but also a witness to a world that existed long before us.

Whether as a central design object in a stylish interior, as a museum-like eye-catcher, or as a special collectible – this bowl is an expression of groundedness, durability, and natural elegance. Its unique blend of form, color, history, and texture makes it a highlight for anyone seeking the extraordinary.

A massive, characterful one-of-a-kind piece that not only fills a space but enriches it with history, strength, and captivating beauty.

It is a fossil wood dating back 200 million years, with all parts from a log or branches silicified, meaning that organic components were gradually 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: silicon.
And that's what we call 'petrified wood' in everyday language.
