1. via environment, leblon coffee table. Reclaimed Peroba wood. . "Its wood is also one of the most durable, 34% harder than oak and slightly harder than black locust. It has a fine texture, a faint warm rosy brown hue, and when it is weathered and aged, it grows in character and texture, almost resembling petrified stone."

2. Onyx Italian 70's via current Rago Auction. Onyx is a cryptocrystalline form of quartz. The colors of its bands range from white to almost every color (save some shades, such as purple or blue).

3.. Burl wood coffee table by Milo Baughman. Burls yield a very peculiar and highly figured wood, one prized for its beauty by many; its rarity also adds to its expense. It is sought after by people such as furniture makers, artists, and wood sculptors.
