Fossilized (petrified) wood; Garut, Java, Indonesia; 16.5 kg; unique piece

Fossilized (petrified) wood from Garut, Java, Indonesia – 16.5 kg unique piece

This distinctive single specimen features fossilized wood from Garut, Java, Indonesia, displaying an especially expressive development of color and texture. Dominant red, ochre, and warmly glowing orange tones form a vivid, layered structure that clearly reflects the original wood anatomy. The surface reveals naturally exposed, slightly glossy areas that highlight the mineral replacement and give the piece notable visual depth. Rough, untreated sections alternate with smoother zones, emphasizing the authentic character of the fossilized trunk. With its compact, solid form and strong coloration, this fossilized wood is well suited as a collector’s specimen or as a striking object for refined standalone display.

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.
