THE LEGEND :

During the Arab domination in Sicily, in the city of Palermo there was an Arab suburb called "La Kalsa".

In this small suburb lived a beautiful young woman who spent her time tending to the flowers on her balcony.

One day a young Moor was walking under the lady's balcony. He noticed the beauty of the young lady and he fell in love with her.

He did not wait a minute to declare his love and the beautiful young girl, impressed by the audacity of the lover, quickly experienced the same love.

Unfortunately, the young Moor was already married and had several children ... as soon as the young woman found out that he could leave to find his family, one day she waited for night and killed him while he slept soundly. She cut off his head and used it as a vase for her plants so she could have him forever by her side.

As the beauty of this vase was remarkable, the whole neighborhood wanted to own a similar one.

From this moment, the creation of vases in the shape of the heads of Moors began...

Petrified wood is a natural material. Therefore, large variations in color and structure can occur.

If you would like a very specific color, please let us know.

Petrified wood is made up of fossilized wood where the organic matter has more or less completely been replaced by minerals (most often silicates, such as quartz, but also pyrite, etc.), while retaining more or less completely the original anatomical structure of wood.

The process of petrification occurs when wood is buried under a layer of sediment, where it first preserves due to a lack of oxygen, before mineral-rich water flows through the sediment and permeates little to little mineral wood cells. These then crystallize eventually, in various ways. Less than a hundred years could probably be needed for some pieces of wood to be petrified, but the process could also sometimes be much longer, up to several million years, including recrystallization phases.
