What is petrified wood?
Petrified wood is one of nature's most fascinating materials.
Created over millions of years, as wood slowly turned to stone – without losing its structure.
At Klardust, we work with genuine petrified wood, hand-picked for its character, depth, and natural elegance.
How does wood turn to stone?
Millions of years ago, forests were covered by volcanic ash and mineral-rich water.
Over time, the organic material was slowly replaced by minerals – often quartz.
The process is called fossilisation.
The structure, grain, and shape are preserved, but the material is transformed into stone.
The result is a unique piece that can neither be recreated nor copied.
How old is petrified wood?
Most pieces of petrified wood date back over 20 million years.
This means that the material existed long before humans.
When you touch petrified wood, you are touching the history of the earth.
What makes petrified wood unique in interior design?
• Every piece is 100% unique
• The colours are created by nature's minerals
• No surface is the same
• The material combines warmth and rawness
In a home, it adds weight, calm, and timelessness.
It is not a trend.
It is nature's own art.
