Dinosaur Bone

The oldest material on our bench. Petrified Dinosaur Bone comes from sauropods, the enormous long-necked herbivores found in North America and Africa.

Its webbed, honeycomb patterns are the bone's original cellular structure, preserved when mineral-rich groundwater filled the porous spaces and slowly turned bone to stone. We stabilize it under immense pressure, then cut, shape, and polish it by hand. Colors run cream, tan, brown, rust, red, gray, and black, with occasional blue or green mineral tones. No two sections repeat.
