Frozen Beauty
Far harder than marble, petrified wood is a stunning and enduring material. Petrified wood forms when trees are buried for thousands of years and the carbon literally turns to stone. China has been a source of petrified wood for many years. The various shades come from the different natural elements in the tree and surrounding soil —manganese, iron, cobalt and copper.
Rare and beautiful materials are sourced from Southeast Asia, Europe, India and China. We choose materials with understated elegance and rich crafts traditions.
