Fossilized (petrified) wood; Garut, Java, Indonesia; 23.4 kg; unique piece

Fossilized (petrified) wood from Garut, Java, Indonesia – 23.4 kg unique piece

This impressive single specimen features fossilized wood from Garut, Java, Indonesia, distinguished by its exceptionally intense coloration and a broadly exposed, polished surface. Rich yellow and ochre tones dominate the piece, intersected by fine reddish veins and occasional translucent areas. The polished surface creates a strong sense of depth and highlights the natural zoning of the fossilized wood with remarkable clarity. Along the edges, naturally preserved rough areas remain visible, emphasizing the original character of the fossilized trunk and creating a striking contrast to the glossy cut surface. The clear structure, bold coloration, and balanced interplay between polished and natural areas make this specimen a highly expressive object for collections, display, or refined 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.
