Description from the seller

This wonderful sphere of fossilized agate wood is a true treasure of nature, crafted from a single precious block.
Its transformation from ancient wood to agatized stone has captured and preserved the original wood structure in an incredibly beautiful petrified form.
Every ring and grain of the wood has been highlighted by silica during the fossilization process, creating an intricate pattern of lines and textures that shine beneath the smooth surface of the sphere.
The colors of this exceptional specimen vary in natural shades ranging from intense red to brown to orange, interspersed with crystalline transparencies and touches of vibrant colors typical of agate.
This sphere is not only a rare collectible item but also an exceptional interior design accessory.
Its elegant appearance and the millennia-old history it carries make it a piece of extraordinary rarity and beauty, ideal for discerning collectors or as a decorative piece in refined spaces, where its natural charm and ancient history can be admired and appreciated.

Seller's Story

The Mineral Art Gallery offers minerals, fossils, shells and natural elements. Born in Italy in 2017, today she collaborates with international galleries and collectors, she is a direct importer of large minerals and naturalistic collectible elements; deals with the processing to insert them inside the living space. A section of the gallery was dedicated to the Wunderkammer, "chamber of wonders or cabinet of curiosities" in which Mirabilia elements are presented: naturalia and italiania, a union between "the present is the past". All lots are shipped via DHL Express and Fercam couriers, with insured parcel and tracking.
