An Outstanding, Highly Important Fossilised Tree
About the Item
A masterpiece of nature that will transform your space into a sanctuary of palaeontological expression. This remarkable piece of natural history that began its journey millions of years ago, when a natural disaster wiped out entire lands of Araucaria woodland, leaving the ancient trees exposed to the forces of the elements. Over time, millions of years pass as the mineral-rich environment surrounding this unique tree triggered a rare and extraordinary process of natural per-mineralisation.
As you look upon the textured petrified palm tree, you're witnessing the result of thousands of years of transformation where mineral-laden water has slowly replaced the living tissue of the Araucaria cell by cell, creating intricate mineral structures that have preserved the palm trunk and its form and with exquisite detail, and with flawless results to tell a story of time, nature, and geology -
Architectural vision: the Araucaria tree will stand out whether placed in your hallway, as lounge seating when placed horizontally, or have hire an interior designer to help you fabricate this ethereal pieces into a sink pedestal and make your home an inspiring curiosity and conversation that intertwines Earth’s archaic history into yours.
