Geology & Origin

Fossil wood forms when plant material is buried in sediments and gradually replaced by minerals over millions of years. In Garut, Java, copper minerals such as Chrysocolla are incorporated into the original wood structures, giving rise to the characteristic green-blue hues. Stabilized and fully polished, this specimen combines the geological history of fossil wood with the vibrant colors of secondary mineralization.
