Petrified wood is a crystallized glass-like fossil of a tree, with the appearance of the wood structure preserved. The fossilization process begins when trees become buried in sediment. Mineral-rich water passing through the sediment carries away the decaying wood molecules and replaces them with minerals – – usually silica. Over thousands of years, the minerals crystalize, producing a metamorphic stone fossil with the appearance of wood.

The South Pacific and Indonesia are the most volcanically active regions in the world. These tables are produced with some of the first specimens ever collected in the Philippines. They are hand-picked from the ground surface, not mined, and their collection does no harm to the environment.
