Fossilised Palm Root

Fossilised palm root forms when the root ball of an ancient palm is buried in silica-rich volcanic ash and slowly replaced by stone, preserving the tangled root structure in fine detail. Ours comes from Sumatra, where fossilisation leaves warm creams, tans and chocolate browns threaded with darker dots and swirling lines tracing where each rootlet once grew. No two root balls fossilise the same way, so every piece in this collection is genuinely one-of-a-kind.
