Petrified Wood - Tumble

Era: Triassic period
Geological Age: 220mya

Description: Petrified wood is a type of fossil formed when plant material, typically wood, is buried under sediment and then subjected to heat and pressure over millions of years. During this process, the organic material is replaced by minerals, usually silica, which crystallize and preserve the original structure of the wood. The result is a beautiful, often colorful stone that retains the grain and texture of the original wood.

Petrified wood from Ambilobe, Madagascar, is renowned for its striking colors and unique patterns. The region's geological conditions contribute to the preservation and mineralization of ancient trees, resulting in vibrant hues ranging from deep reds and oranges to rich browns and yellows. This petrified wood often showcases intricate details of the original wood structure, making it highly sought after by collectors, artisans, and jewelry makers.
