About the Item

A large section of a petrified conifer tree trunk, (Araucarioxylon arizonicum) from Northern Arizona, dating to the Triassic period, circa 225 million years ago. Over hundreds of millions of years this Prehistoric tree has been transformed into a dazzling, multi colored stone, streaked with reds, blacks, whites and grays. The remarkable colors are the result of permineralization; a process of fossilization where mineral rich water flows through the plant, depositing these minerals (in this case, mostly carbon, iron oxides and manganese oxides) into the cells of the organism. A highly decorative piece - with bronze plate for wall display. Collectors are encouraged to enquire our specialists for additional information, including a full research dossier and provenance history.

Fossilized Wood Cross-Section
Located in London, GB
Fossilised wood fragment displaying vibrant streaks of browns, reds, blues and yellows. This is a magnificent example of the results of a fossilisation process known as permineralization. In the right environment over great lengths of time, buried wood tissue permeated by minerals transported in water can transform into fossils. This particular example has fossilised over a copper deposit, resulting in bright inclusions of copper minerals that manifest as impressive streaks of blue, yellow, green and red. This distinctive coloration is unique to Colla wood...
