Petrified wood sphere from Madagascar, natural fossilized wood with warm earthy color swirls, weight 848.77 g (87 mm diameter).

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This extraordinary sphere of fossilized wood presents an impressive combination of reddish, caramel-colored, and cream tones, which run like organic annual rings across the polished surface. The vivid structure still clearly recalls ancient wood grain, making the connection between mineral transformation and original plant material wonderfully visible.

The warm red and ochre zones seem to glow from within, while lighter, almost milky areas create a gentle depth. Enclosed structures and natural lines tell the story of a tree that turned to stone over millions of years – a process that makes each fossil wood orb a true one-of-a-kind.

With its harmonious coloring and organic, flowing patterning, this sphere appears particularly decorative and simultaneously exudes a calm, earth-connected presence. As a rarer variant among fossil wood types, it also possesses an attractive collector's value and elegantly fits into any mineral collection.
Note: The stand shown in the picture is not included in the scope of delivery but can be purchased separately.

It is a fossil wood dating back 200 million years, with all parts from a log or branches silicified, meaning that organic components were gradually 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: silicon.
And that's what we call 'petrified wood' in everyday language.
