Fossilized (petrified) wood; Garut, Java, Indonesia; 19.94 kg; unique piece
Fossilized (petrified) wood from Indonesia – 19.94 kg unique piece
This fossilized (petrified) wood from Indonesia, weighing 19.94 kg, displays a striking, upright form with clearly visible zoned wood structures. The surface is characterized by intense red, ochre, brown, and olive tones arranged in layered patterns that strongly emphasize the original grain of the wood. Particularly notable are the longitudinal structures, which clearly reveal the organic origin and give the specimen a pronounced visual depth. The combination of rich coloration and solid, massive form makes this single specimen an expressive display piece with strong aesthetic appeal.
Geology & Origin
Petrified wood forms when organic plant material is gradually permeated and preserved by Quartz over long geological periods, while the original cellular structure of the wood remains intact. In Indonesia, this process is often associated with volcanic activity, as silica-rich fluids provide ideal conditions for silicification. The vivid color contrasts of this specimen reflect changing geochemical conditions during fossilization, making each piece a unique record of geological history.
