Fossilized (petrified) wood; Garut, Java, Indonesia; 31 kg; unique piece
Fossilized (petrified) wood from Garut, Java, Indonesia – 31 kg unique piece
This fossilized wood specimen from Garut, Java, Indonesia, impresses with its massive presence and the striking contrast between the highly polished top surface and the naturally preserved, textured side. The cut surface displays deep olive green, brown, and yellowish zones with flowing transitions and vivid grain patterns. Particularly remarkable is the large natural section with clearly visible wood structure, pores, and original growth textures that reflect the character of the former tree trunk. Weighing 31 kg, this single specimen has an exceptional visual impact and is perfectly suited as a powerful display piece.
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.
