Magnificent Indonesian Petrified Wood Table
Indeterminate species
Miocene
Java, Indonesia
Destined to become a stunning interior design focal point, an unusually large pair of butterfly-cut slabs of spectacular Indonesian petrified wood have been fashioned into a marvelous table or desk. Also distinguishing the stunning material is an area of sparkling crystals, which formed within the wood as it fossilized. Indonesian petrified wood is characterized by softer patterning and more neutral colors than fossilized wood from other localities. The present specimen is of uncharacteristically generous size for its locality of origin. Offered atop an elegant custom laser cut metal base with brushed brass finish. Measuring 99 ½ x 34 ½ x 29 in
