Arizona Petrified Wood

Description

This superb piece of petrified wood is why Arizona “Rainbow Wood” is the most sought after in the world. The colour of this piece is amazing with flame coloured orange to brown and yellow radiating out from the centre. Clear aging rings are to be seen and on the outside the fossilised bark is apparent. This specimen is from a full trunk or branch – not a fragment. This specimen is thicker than usual and is quite imposing. Fossil wood is extremely durable and hard material, and is very resistant to even steel knife scratching, and on this piece the reverse has been reinforced with mesh fibreglassing – so it could also be a mini table! 

Dimensions: 400mm widest point, 18mm thickness
