Petrified Wood Specimen and Amethyst Geode

About the Item

Petrified wood specimen and amethyst geode Continental, 20th Century Long stone: Height 12cm, width 30cm, depth 13cm Tall stone: Height 19cm, width 17cm, depth 12cm The amethyst geode and a petrified wood specimen wonderfully showcase nature’s capabilities and would make superb home décor pieces. The amethyst geode is magnificently shaped and its inside reveals a wonderful surprise. A plethora of minerals fill the central cavity, and their colours range from deep purple to almost black. These are surrounded by a salmon pink and grey outer layer. The sunlight makes the minerals sparkle, creating a dream-like atmosphere in one’s interior. The petrified wood specimen is neutral and includes pared-down patterns. Such specimens are formed when minerals enter the empty chambers within and between cells of wood. Each one could act as a stand-alone decorative piece, or they could be displayed together in a creative composition.

Located in Chicago, IL
Like scholars' rocks, petrified, or fossilized, wood is appreciated for its natural beauty. Sometimes called "Tree Jade," petrified wood is thought to bring peace and prosperity to its surroundings. Each log has its own unique patterns of fossilized moss, bark, and the scars of a lifetime. These facets bring to mind a fascinating combination of organic mortality and preserved permanence.
