This totally unique Wall Clock has been created from a large section of Triassic (220 million years old) petrified fossil wood from Madagascar. It comes from an Araucaria tree, an extinct type of conifer.
This high quality specimen has been transformed with a new high quality Acctim Quartz Pendulum Clock Mechanism. Silver'pearl like' beads indicate the hours - but can be removed if a more natural look is desired.
A wooden subframe ensures this specimen is perfectly aligned with the wall. Wood encloses the clock mechanism and is only visible from the sides. The wood is left natural to allow it to be finished in the exact wall colour if required - this would further enhance the'floating' look.Only a single screw or sturdy picture pin is required to wall mount. A new Duracell AA battery supplied so this unique addition to the home can be enjoyed as quickly as possible. Please see photos for more detail, the maximum dimensions of the Fossil are approximately 9" x 6". The Pendulm takes the total height to over 13. Very well packed (to ensure continued survival beyond 220 million years) and delivered with a signed for courier service.
The face been polished highlighting detail across the section - even the bark can be seen at the edges. Fossilised wood that has been turned into stone through the process of permineralization. All of the organic matter becomes replaced by minerals, while much of the original structure such as tree rings in retained. For this to happen the wood needs to be buried in an environment both low in oxygen (preventing decomposition) and with flowing mineral laden water.
