Fossilized (petrified) wood from Garut, Java, Indonesia – 21.6 kg unique piece

This expressive single specimen features fossilized wood from Garut, Java, Indonesia, distinguished by its vivid coloration and dynamic surface structure. The broadly exposed surface reveals a complex interplay of warm yellow, ochre, and brown tones, intersected by striking reddish veins and translucent areas. The polished sections create an impressive sense of depth, while the naturally preserved outer zones emphasize the original character of the fossilized trunk. The internal wood structure remains clearly recognizable, giving the piece a strong natural presence. With its compact form, balanced weight, and eye-catching color patterns, this specimen is ideally suited as a decorative display piece or as a characterful object for collections, exhibitions, or interior design.

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.
