About RareBath & the Material
What is a RareBath petrified wood bathtub?
RareBath works with naturally occurring petrified wood sourced from established geological deposits. Each block is selected for its structural integrity, coloration, pattern, size, and suitability for transformation into a finished architectural piece.
What is petrified wood, and how old is it?
Petrified wood is ancient wood in which the original organic structure has been progressively replaced by minerals over geological time. The result preserves the structure and character of the original timber while transforming it into a stone-like material. Petrified wood can be millions of years old, depending on its geological origin. The precise age varies from deposit to deposit, and where reliable documentation is available, RareBath can provide information relating to the provenance of the material.
Is each bathtub carved from a single piece of petrified wood?
Our pricing varies depending on [what factors affect your price]. We offer a variety of options to fit your needs and budget. Please visit our [pricing page/contact us] for more information.
How is petrified wood different from marble, granite, or other natural stone?
Petrified wood is different because it is fossilized wood rather than stone formed primarily as a mineral or crystal aggregate. Over geological time, minerals gradually replaced the original organic material while preserving the wood's cellular structure, grain, and natural form.
