The allure of taxidermy, brought to you by {name}

Jonas Rathaj

Diese beeindruckende Kugel ist aus versteinertem Holz gefertigt, einem fossilen Material, das entsteht, wenn pflanzliches Material durch Mineraleinlagerungen über Millionen von Jahren ersetzt wird. Dieser Prozess bewahrt die ursprüngliche Struktur des Holzes, während er es in Stein verwandelt. Die Kugel zeigt die charakteristischen Farben und Maserungen, die typisch für versteinertes Holz sind.

Natürliche versteinerte Holz-Kugel, die durch ihre reiche Farbpalette und die faszinierende Maserung besticht. Diese einzigartige Kugel ist ideal als dekoratives Element, spirituelles Werkzeug oder wertvolles Sammlerstück und bringt natürliche Schönheit und positive Energie in jeden Raum.

Stone: Petrified Wood Sphere 
Weight: 5122,44 g
Size: 168mm
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.

The disclaimer about the healing properties
as previously given :
It is believed that certain gemstones and minerals have beneficial health and spiritual properties.
We und Catawiki cannot guarantee or be held liable for these suggested attributes which have no scientific
evidence and cannot be considered a substitute for traditional medical treatment.
