Description from the seller
This high-quality chalcedony freeform impresses with its warm, golden-yellow color palette, interwoven with fine natural inclusions in black, white and soft earth tones. The gentle color gradients and the striking structures give the stone fascinating depth, which is especially brought out by the highly polished surface.
Chalcedon belongs to the family of microcrystalline quartz and forms over millions of years through the deposition of silica-rich solutions in cavities and fractures of the Earth's crust. The characteristic golden color of this freeform is the result of mineral trace elements such as iron oxides, which give the stone its warm radiance. Especially high-quality specimens come from Madagascar, Namibia or Brazil, where these unique varieties are found.
This artfully cut freeform is not only an aesthetic collector's piece, but also an impressive decorative object that carries the natural beauty of the Earth within it. Its warm, soothing coloring makes it a harmonious element in any setting and lends rooms an elegant yet earthy radiance.
Stone: Natural Jasper-Chalcedony
Weight: 6885.73 g
Size: 243x195x117mm
Treatment: None
Origin: Madagascar
It is fossil wood dating back 200 million years, with all parts from a log or branches silicified, meaning that organic components were gradually replaced by silicon in the form of jasper, chalcedony and, more rarely, opal. Without the organic parts, all living matter was replaced by stone: there are growth rings, cell separations, almost like worm cracks.
Its features are those of the mineral that would have pseudo-transformed the wood: the silicon.
And that’s what we call a "petrified wood" in common language.
The lots were photographed under professional lights. Please note that the colours might differ depending on monitor settings and light source.
