AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Araucaria Baum, fossilized wood from the Triassic period.
FOSSILS collectible made from genuine African valuable petrified wood - Dendrolit - petrified wood giant piece
710 grams A fascinating historical artifact from the Triassic, approximately 220 million years old – fossilized precious wood from Madagascar! This exclusive piece originates from a prehistoric Araucaria, an ancient conifer that could reach towering heights of over 30 meters in the island's primeval forests. Through natural vitrification, every delicate wood structure inside has been beautifully replaced with quartz, resulting in unique grain patterns and colors.
The piece combines elegance, age, and collector's value: fine yellow, brown, and red hues—caused by ancient iron and manganese minerals—testify to the long geological era between lava, ash, and tropical vegetation. The clearly visible annual rings tell of climatic cycles of the prehistoric world. Malagasy fossil wood is internationally regarded as one of the most beautiful and colorful—valued and sought after not only as a geological rarity but also as an effective decorative and energy object.
Collectors value the fossil wood from Madagascar for its authenticity, great age, and its color and structural quality. Similar pieces are found as valuable scholarly items in museums and exclusive collections worldwide – their value has been increasing for years. This specimen is reserved for discerning buyers and connoisseurs seeking extraordinary prehistoric artworks.
Exceptionally decorative very large glass, slightly reddish, with fine preserved wood and rind texture.
Size 17.50 cm x 16.00 cm x 1.40 cm!
The disc comes from a fossilized tree trunk — extremely rare and valuable — with naturally beautifully preserved wood structures.
Surface structure natural, photographed under lighting.
Exquisite piece of art delivered with a gold-colored metal stand (decor not included).
