Description from the seller
This sphere of petrified wood impresses with its deep, natural color gradations and grain patterns that resemble the annual rings of a tree trunk. Rendered in vivid red and black, it vividly showcases the fascinating structures and layers formed through the process of petrification. The polished shine accentuates the depth and detail of the natural patterns that have developed over millions of years.
Petrified wood is often seen as a symbol of earth connection and stability and can help promote inner stability. This sphere is a unique collector's item and brings a touch of history and natural power to any space, perfect for nature and mineral enthusiasts.
