Fossilized (petrified) wood; Garut, Java, Indonesia; 31 kg; unique piece

Fossilized (petrified) wood from Garut, Java, Indonesia – 31 kg unique piece

This fossilized wood from Garut, Java, Indonesia, stands out due to its exceptionally vivid color variety and highly expressive structure. The polished surface displays intense yellow, olive, brown, and reddish zones with flowing transitions and natural cavities that create an almost landscape-like appearance. Clearly visible are original wood textures, pore areas, and mineral infillings reflecting the former internal structure of the tree trunk. Weighing 31 kg, this single specimen has a powerful presence and is ideally suited as a striking collection or display piece.

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.
