About our petrified wood and jasper stone
Petrified wood is a magical natural material that occurs when a tree dies and silicon dioxide forms in place of the degrading wood. After thousands of years, no wood is left—only quartz. This striking tray is created from a slice of that quartz that reveals the intriguing wood grain and rich coloration that remains, polished to a highly glossy surface. Use the natural-edge catch-all to corral mail, keys and sunglasses on an entryway table. Due to the nature of the material, each petrified wood tray will be unique.
Jasper is an opaque rock of virtually any color stemming from the mineral content of the original sediments or ash. Patterns arise during the consolidation process forming flow and depositional patterns in the original silica-rich sediment or volcanic ash. Hydrothermal circulation is generally thought to be required in the formation of jasper.
