This slab is assembled by hand from slices of fossil wood in its lightest tones. Three layouts are available: Classic, with circular cross sections and ammonite inserts; Retro, where long rectangles cut along the grain form a patchwork of planks; and Jurassic, a tighter grid of smaller vein-cut pieces. Because the wood was replaced by mineral rather than simply dried out, its grain survives in fine detail.

The pale coloring keeps the material quiet enough for larger areas such as bathroom walls, vanity tops, kitchen backsplashes and furniture, where it reads like weathered timber under a stone polish. Ivory is 2 cm thick in standard production, adjustable from 0.6 to 4 cm, and it is cut to measured sizes up to 320 x 190 cm so that offcuts are kept to a minimum. Routine cleaning needs only water and a mild neutral soap.
