Set of 5 Large Polished Petrified Wood Slices – 16–30 cm / 8 kg Total – Dipterocarpus – Java, Indonesia (Miocene) - Stands Not Included
Description:
A visually striking, high-end collection set of five large polished petrified wood slices (Dipterocarpus sp.) sourced from Java, Indonesia. Dating back to the Miocene epoch (approx. 5 to 23 million years ago), this substantial 8 kg lot showcases an impressive range of mineral contrast, from jet-black carbon hearts to warm amber-gold and soft beige heartwood.
Visual & Aesthetic Highlights:
* Dramatic Color Variation: Features exceptional diversity across the set, including a high-contrast obsidian-black slice with white chalcedony veins, rich golden-amber slabs, and soft taupe heartwood with visible cell structures.
* High-Gloss Polish: Expertly hand-polished on primary cut faces to highlight subtle growth-ring details, wood grain fibers, and sparkling mineral inclusions.
* Natural Bark Contours: Bounded by raw, scalloped outer edges that preserve the original log profile of each ancient tree trunk.
* Large Display Formats: Ranging from 16 cm up to a magnificent 30 cm in length, these substantial slabs create an eye-catching statement set for luxury interior styling, mineral displays, or lapidary collections.
