Fossilized (petrified) wood; Garut, Java, Indonesia; 10.2 kg; unique piece

Fossilized (petrified) wood from Garut, Java, Indonesia – 10.2 kg unique piece

This striking single specimen features fossilized wood from Garut, Java, Indonesia, characterized by a particularly strong contrast and deep coloration. Prominent dark red to burgundy zones dominate the interior, framed by yellowish-ochre and lighter mineralized areas. The exposed cut surface provides a clear view into the internal structure of the fossilized wood, making the original growth zones distinctly visible. Slightly glossy sections enhance the visual depth and emphasize the dense, quartz-rich mineral replacement. The compact shape and bold color composition give this fossilized wood a powerful presence, making it a distinctive collector’s and display specimen.

Geology & Origin

Fossilized wood forms when organic plant material is permeated and preserved by mineral-rich solutions over very long geological timescales. During this process, the original wood substance is gradually replaced by quartz and related silicates, while the internal structure of the wood remains intact. The Garut region on Java is well known for producing large-format, vividly colored fossilized wood characterized by stable preservation, clear structures, and expressive natural color zoning.
