KAURI LUXURY TABLE
Kauri is a fossil amber wood from far away New Zealand. Kauri logs are 28,000 to 50,000 years old. It is considered one of the rarest, most expensive and valuable woods on Earth.
KAURI IS THE MILLENNIAL HISTORY OF NEW ZEALAND
About 50 000 years ago, at the end of the last Ice Age, a series of unexplained cataclysms flooded the Kauri forests and buried them under a huge layer of water and mud. The specific properties of the mud and the anoxic environment have preserved these unique trees, which have lain in the swamps for 30-50 thousand years. Unique is the fact that, although the trunks have been buried in the mud for thousands of years, the wood is perfectly preserved and has the same quality as freshly cut wood. Samples of whole 30-metre-long trunks have been found.
The abundance of resin inside the logs gives the impression of gold thanks to the transformation of amber resin into something resembling gold powder.

The Kauri harvesting process is a rather complicated process. Before you start mining this unique tree, you need to obtain a license from the New Zealand authorities. The license costs a lot of money, since the Kauri is an absolutely unique tree that is not found anywhere else in the world, as well as a national treasure of this country. After obtaining a license, the company can begin to search for and extract from the ground this unique natural resource. Due to the huge weight of the trunks of 20-150 tons, it is very difficult to work with them; you have to use a large number of heavy equipment and powerful chainsaws.
