419g Large Polished Petrified Wood Slab

This specimen was sourced from Indonesia. Petrified wood is a type of fossil that forms when wood becomes buried in sediment and is preserved over time through the process of permineralization. During this process, the wood is replaced by minerals, such as quartz, calcite, or pyrite, which fill in the spaces between the wood cells and create a solid stone-like material. Petrified wood can be found in a variety of colors, including brown, red, yellow, and blue, depending on the minerals that were present during the permineralization process.
