Fossilized (petrified) wood; Garut, Java, Indonesia; 7.6 kg; unique piece

Fossilized (petrified) wood from Garut, Java, Indonesia – 7.6 kg unique piece

This fossilized wood specimen from Garut, Java, Indonesia, stands in a striking upright, almost triangular form with a strong sculptural silhouette. The polished front surface reveals intense red, ochre, and brown zones that flow seamlessly into one another, interwoven with fine structural patterns. Partially translucent areas add visual depth, while natural, unpolished sections along the edges preserve the original character of the material. The combination of a clearly defined base and dynamic lines makes this single piece an especially expressive 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.
