Over here you see a petrified wood table from Arizona, dating back to the Triassic Period. It comes from an Araucaria tree, also known as the monkey puzzle tree.

What makes this piece so special is that the wood has completely transformed into quartz over millions of years, making it even harder than steel. There are no wood cells left anymore, which is why it works perfectly as a table.

Next to it, you see petrified wood trays from Indonesia. These are around 15 million years old, much softer, and therefore less suitable for furniture compared to the Arizona pieces.
