Araucarioxylon arizonicum
A unique and enchanting piece at first sight!
Nature has accomplished an amazing piece of work here. Coloring and preservation are exceptionally good. The wood and bark structure are still very well recognizable, although this specimen is already 200 million years old.
The slab comes from the "Petrified Forest National Park", about 180 kilometers east of Flagstaff in Arizona. It is difficult to get pieces from there, as the protection of this impressive area is gradually being extended.
Offered here is a piece from an old collection.
In addition, this specimen has been very well polished. This can be seen in the second and third picture.

Araucarias are conifers with hard, pointed and blade-shaped leaves. Currently they are only found in South America and Oceania, which is a relic of their distribution on the southern prehistoric continent of Gondwana, that split into South America, Africa, India, Antarctica and Australia.Their wood fossilized as it became saturated with silica-containing water in the absence of oxygen. This water precipitated in the interstices as quartz, chalcedony or opal and replaced the wood, which was slowly decomposed by anaerobic bacteria. Other minerals in the water, mostly iron oxides, provided the coloration.Age: TriassicLocality: MadagascarSize: 2 - 3 cmColors on product photos may differ from those of the original specimen due to technical reasons.Our photos serve as a reference, you will receive a piece of comparable quality with your purchase.
