Fossilized (petrified) wood; Garut, Java, Indonesia; 65 kg; unique piece

Fossilized (petrified) wood from Garut, Java, Indonesia – 65 kg unique piece

This fossilized wood from Garut, Java, Indonesia, is an exceptionally massive and impressive single specimen weighing 65 kg. The polished sections display intense red, carmine, and ochre tones interwoven with yellowish and olive zones showing remarkable translucency and depth. Clearly visible wood structures, growth zones, and fibrous textures stand out in fine detail due to the mineral preservation. Natural fracture edges, powerful structural lines, and the contrast between raw and polished areas give the piece a monumental, almost archaic character. This specimen is ideally suited as a central display piece for advanced collections or representative interiors.

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.
