Indonesian Petrified Wood on Custom Stand

Description

This stunning slice of petrified wood, mounted on a custom stand, is a remarkable natural specimen that highlights the beauty of ancient geological processes. Petrified wood is formed when a tree is buried under soil or sand, typically after a natural disaster, allowing minerals to gradually replace the organic material. Over millions of years, this transformation preserves every intricate detail of the wood, including knots, bark, and annual rings, resulting in a striking, mineralized piece with vivid colors influenced by the minerals in the surrounding soil.

This particular slice showcases the mesmerizing effects of petrification, with crystal formations in multiple colors, providing a fascinating glimpse into the Earth’s ancient past.
