AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Large and beautiful slice of petrified wood of A+++ quality from the Araucaria tree (aged between 220 and 250 million years).
Beautiful tones, rosé and white ochre, brown, and reddish-orange (highly sought after by collectors).
250 million years ago, in Madagascar, entire forests were submerged by volcanic eruptions, fires, torrential rains, and flooding rivers.
Over time, entire trees submerged under this mass of material chemically transformed into stone, with silica gradually replacing the wood to form, through crystallization, petrified wood also known as 'silicified wood'.
Manual polishing of both sides, with a fully natural color.
For collection or can also be used as a display plate for restaurant presentation, cheese, sushi, etc...
