Beautiful slice of petrified wood. Petrified wood is a mineralised piece of a tree that originated because trees fell and were covered by a layer of earth or sand. Often due to a natural disaster. The colours of petrified wood depend on the minerals in the soil or sand. Each mineral creates its own colour. The 'petrification' process ensures the preservation of all wood characteristics, such as knots, bark and annual rings. A decay process that took place in the distant past can lead to the formation of beautiful crystals, often in different colours. This piece is of the highest quality, ideal both for collectors and for those who want to furnish their home with a different object. The slab without base weighs 910 grams.
