Fossilized (petrified) wood; Garut, Java, Indonesia; 45.9 kg; unique piece

Fossilized (petrified) wood from Garut, Java, Indonesia – 45.9 kg unique piece

This fossilized wood from Garut, Java, Indonesia, impresses with its monumental presence and exceptionally intense coloration. The polished sections display strong red, ochre, yellow, and olive tones with vivid transitions and a remarkable sense of depth. Distinct cavities, natural fracture structures, and clearly visible wood textures give the piece a powerful, almost sculptural character. The original growth lines of the trunk remain clearly traceable and are further emphasized by mineral infillings. Weighing 45.9 kg, this single specimen has an impressive size and is ideally suited as a dominant collection or display centerpiece.

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.
