Fossilized (petrified) wood; Garut, Java, Indonesia; 33.1 kg on pallet; unique piece
Fossilized (petrified) wood from Indonesia – 33.1 kg on pallet as unique piece.
This fossilized (petrified) wood from Indonesia, weighing 33.1 kg, shows a very massive, block-like form with a compact and well-defined overall shape. The surface displays striking zoned color patterns in yellow, ochre, red, and cream tones, clearly preserving the original wood structure. The side surfaces appear largely natural and provide an authentic impression of the original raw material. Crystals are not developed or recognizable; the appearance is entirely defined by the mineral-preserved wood texture and dense silicification. Due to its weight, this specimen is shipped on a pallet and is especially well suited as an impressive display piece or a centerpiece in a collection.
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 from volcanic deposits provide ideal conditions for fossilization. The intense and contrasting coloration of this specimen reflects varying geochemical conditions during mineralization, making each piece a unique natural object.
