Natural Jasper-Chalcedony Freeform- 1306.66 g

This premium 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 distinctive structures give the stone a fascinating depth that is especially showcased by the high-gloss polished surface.

Chalcedony belongs to the family of microcrystalline quartz and forms over millions of years through the deposition of siliceous solutions in hollow spaces and cracks 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. Particularly high-quality examples come from Madagascar, Namibia or Brazil, where these unique varieties are found.

This artistically cut freeform is not only an aesthetic collectible but also an impressive decorative object that carries the natural beauty of the Earth within it. Its warm, calming color scheme makes it a harmonious element in any setting and lends rooms an elegant yet earthy aura.

It is fossil wood dating back 200 million years; all parts from a log or branches have been 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-like cracks.
Its features are those of the mineral that would have pseudo-transformed the wood: the silicon.
And that’s what we call petrified wood in common language.
