Fossilised wood or petrified wood can be found in a number of countries around the world and our fossilised furniture and sculptures originate from Java, Indonesia.
The petrified wood fossils have been preserved for millions of years by the process of petrification, a process which turns the wood into quartz crystal, harder than steel. Petrified wood fossils are known for their exquisite colour and some pieces of petrified wood have retained the original cellular structure of the wood. Minerals and elements such as manganese, iron, copper, cobalt, carbon, chromium and silica which are present in the petrification process give the petrified wood a rich variety of colour range and lustre. |
