AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A stunning and highly decorative **petrified wood specimen from Indonesia**, measuring an impressive 32 cm.
This remarkable fossil features an extraordinary natural color contrast, with a **deep jet-black center surrounded by delicate ivory-white and creamy beige tones**, beautifully framed by warm honey-brown and golden edges.
The polished surface reveals fascinating details of the ancient wood structure, including fine grain patterns and distinctive pale mineral formations that stand out dramatically against the dark background, creating an almost artistic, abstract composition.
One of the most attractive features of this specimen is its **beautifully preserved natural outer edge**, displaying intricate wood textures and warm earthy colors that contrast wonderfully with the smooth, polished surface.
**Only one side has been polished**, enhancing the spectacular colors and internal patterns, while the remaining surfaces retain their original rough, natural appearance and authentic fossil character.
With its impressive size, unusual shape, and striking black-and-white coloration, this specimen is a beautiful combination of natural history and decorative art, ideal for collectors and as a distinctive interior display piece.
**Origin:** Indonesia
**Size:** 32 cm
**Finish:** Polished on one side only, with natural unpolished edges and reverse.
Seller's Story
I, Don, started fossil hunting in 1987, going from a passionate collector to a professional preparator and researcher. In all these years I have traveled searching for fossils in many parts of the world.
Our fossils are present in private collections in the United States, Singapore, Taiwan, as well as in prestigious museums in the Uk, China and Japan.
Quality in the preparation of the material and seriousness in managing the shipment in the best possible way distinguish us.
