Petrified Conifer Sphere
Madagascar
3.04 inches (7.73 cm) in diameter

This fun and engaging example of Petrified Wood showcases the natural, earthy tones created during the long permineralization process of this ancient conifer. The round shape and polish of this material allow for the natural beauty of this example of natural history to be readily displayed in any interior décor. The fossil orb presented here retains an essence of the original character with evident cell structure and growth rings but is now in a form that can be appreciated as a most unique accent piece.
