English term

quartz log

English to German Tech/Engineering Architecture Innenarchitektur
Habe in einem ersten Durchgang auf etwas wie "künstliche Holzscheite" getippt, liege da aber wohl falsch... Weiß jemand besser Bescheid?
Kontext:
"And for a big gesture, the formerly lackluster fireplace got some terribly posh quartz logs to go with a dramatic floor-to-ceiling black glass hearth."
Proposed translations (German)
4 Holzquarz, versteinertes Holz

Holzquarz, versteinertes Holz

Es geht wohl um versteinertes Holz, siehe Synonymliste in Link 1

Und so ist es entstanden : (Link 2)

"Sediment covered the logs before they could rot away. Volcanic ash from nearby geologic violence fell by the ton on top of the sediment. Ground water dissolved the silica in the ash and soaked through the wood, where the mixture filled up or replaced cells and solidified as quartz. The water also carried minerals rich in iron and varied in color, which gave the quartz logs a rainbow palette."
