Ein faszinierender Obelisk aus versteinertem Holz, der die Schönheit der Natur und die Mystik vergangener Zeitalter vereint. Die lebendige Farbpalette, die von warmen Erdtönen bis hin zu tiefem Purpur reicht, verleiht diesem Obelisken eine kraftvolle Ausstrahlung. Die natürlichen Muster und Maserungen des versteinerten Holzes erzählen von urzeitlichen Wäldern und verleihen dem Stück eine besondere Tiefe und Einzigartigkeit. Dieser Obelisk ist ein beeindruckendes Kunstwerk und ein Blickfang, der sowohl ästhetisch als auch geschichtsträchtig ist, ideal für Sammler und Liebhaber natürlicher Skulpturen.

Stone: Petrified Wood Obelisk
Weight: 7517,18 g
Size: 245x115x115mm
Treatment: None
Origin: Madagascar

It is a fossil wood dating back 200 million years, all parts from a log or branches have been silicified, meaning that organic components were little by little replaced by silicon in the form of jasper, chalcedony and more rarely opal. Without the organic parts, all the 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 the common language.
