Petrified wood fossil from Madagascar, freeform shape, weight 2917.17 g.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This magnificent piece of fossilized wood is much more than a decorative object – it is a piece of earth history that began millions of years ago. Formed from ancient trees that, over millennia, fully petrified under special geological conditions, this freeform carries the energy and dignity of a long-gone era.
The material comes from the mineral-rich regions of Madagascar, one of the world's most renowned sites for exceptionally colorful fossilized wood. The vibrant shades of deep red, warm orange, and golden accents evoke flowing lava that has solidified over time. Every grain, every color blend tells a unique story, shaped by the forces of nature.
The meticulously polished surface gives the piece an elegant shine and highlights the fine textures that flow like an artistic painting across the entire form. Its organic silhouette emphasizes the natural origin and makes it a true eye-catcher—whether as a representative collectible, a harmonious element in interior design, or an expression of appreciation for the wonders of our Earth.
With this freeform, you not only bring an impressive mineral object into your home but also a symbol of durability, transformation, and timeless beauty – a masterpiece created by nature itself.

Madagascar
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.
