Over millions of years, the original organic wood structure was gradually replaced by minerals such as quartz, chalcedony, and jasper. This slow geological process preserved the tree’s natural textures while transforming it into an exceptionally durable natural stone.

The bowl reveals a beautiful composition of earthy tones, ranging from warm beige and soft browns to darker mineral accents. Subtle natural patterns flow across the surface, reflecting the internal structure of the ancient wood and giving the piece a quiet depth and character. The polished interior enhances the richness of the mineral colours, while the natural outer edge retains the organic outline of the original tree, creating a harmonious balance between refinement and raw natural form.

with its generous dimensions — 58 cm in length, 50 cm in width, and 15 cm in height — the piece has a strong sculptural presence. It can serve beautifully as a decorative bowl, centerpiece, or statement object in both contemporary and nature-inspired interiors.

Every piece from Xyleia Petrified Wood is carefully sourced from Indonesia, where these ancient fossilized trees are found, and then meticulously finished in Twello, the Netherlands. No two pieces are ever alike, as each carries the unique mineral patterns formed during millions of years of geological transformation. See less
