Presenting a significant specimen of Indonesian Petrified Wood, dating to the Miocene/Pliocene epoch (approx. 20 million years ago). This is not merely a decorative bowl, but a geological sculpture that captures the intersection of ancient biology and mineral transformation.
While most petrified wood presents in common earth tones, this rare piece is distinguished by its saturated obsidian-black core. This intense coloration is the result of specific high-pressure mineralization involving carbon and manganese, creating a mirror-like "Piano Black" finish that is highly coveted in the luxury design world.
The Interior: Hand-polished to a flawless, high-gloss luster that reflects light with architectural precision.
The Exterior: Intentionally left in its raw, "live-edge" state to preserve the original bark texture of the ancient tropical tree, offering a stunning tactile contrast.
