Fossilized (petrified) wood from Garut, Java, Indonesia – 20.85 kg unique piece

This impressive single specimen features fossilized wood from Garut, Java, Indonesia, characterized by a bold, block-like shape and an exceptionally vivid distribution of colors. Warm yellow, ochre, and brown tones are interwoven with intense reddish areas, creating a strong sense of visual depth. A naturally exposed, slightly glossy cut surface is visible on the top, clearly revealing the internal structure of the fossilized wood. The sides remain largely in their natural state, displaying the original texture of the fossilized trunk with distinct layering and organic transitions. The combination of substantial presence, rich coloration, and authentic surface makes this piece highly suitable as a collector’s specimen or as a striking standalone object for refined 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.
