Description from the seller
Set of Three Fossilized Wood Logs from Madagascar
A natural trio of fossilized wood logs from Madagascar, each preserving the original bark texture and displaying a polished cut surface that reveals the internal grain, colours and mineralisation typical of ancient silicified wood. The contrast between the rugged exterior and the smooth, detailed interiors highlights the transformation from organic material to stone.
The first piece weighs 495 g and measures 12.5 × 6.5 × 4.7 cm. Its elongated form shows deep natural cavities along the bark and a light-toned polished top with subtle fossil grain.
The second piece weighs 465 g and measures 7.7 × 7.5 × 6.2 cm. This specimen features a broad, polished surface with warm reddish hues contrasting with the pale mineralised wood structure beneath.
The third piece weighs 340 g and measures 7 × 6.8 × 4.2 cm. It presents a compact form with well-defined bark texture and a smooth top section showing detailed internal patterns.
Together these three fossil wood specimens form an appealing and authentic set, suitable for collectors, educational use or distinctive natural décor.
