About the Item

Striking Prehistoric Polished Petrified Wood Vide Poche / Ashtray Bring the natural history of the earth into your home with this extraordinary polished petrified wood vide poche, a sculptural catchall or ashtray carved from authentic fossilized wood. Dating back millions of years, this piece is a rare and timeless artifact, both a functional object and a work of art. The top surface has been expertly polished to a high-gloss finish, revealing dramatic patterns of mineral-rich coloration in rich earth tones, while the sides and base retain their original rugged texture, a striking contrast that honors the organic form and geological origins of the piece. Petrified wood forms when fallen trees are buried under sediment and mineral-rich water over millions of years. Through a process called permineralization, the wood’s organic structure is gradually replaced by stone, typically quartz, while preserving the grain, rings, and intricate details of the original wood. Each specimen is completely unique, and large, well-preserved examples like this are increasingly rare. This prehistoric fossil offers natural sophistication, with a sense of permanence and history that enhances any space, from modern minimalist interiors to rustic, organic, or collector-curated environments. Whether used as an ashtray, catchall, or decorative accent, it brings both longevity and functionality to the home.
