Reminds me of that Indiana Jones movie where they have to choose a cup to drink from to get immortality. They are presented with loads of super fancy cups all with gold and precious jewels.
And they all kill you.
The one to drink from and get immortality is a small wooden cup.
Probably one of the smartest tiny details a film maker implemented not to mention how all the fancy ones are gold plated and made of fancy material that takes a long time to bio degrade but the wooden cup if it wasn’t magical it would have disintegrated and become unusable a long time ago

Polished wood can last for some time before going away…
