Petrified Conifer Bookends
Araucarioxylon arizonicum
Triassic
Chinle Formation
Arizona, USA

Towering 11 inches (28 cm) tall, this exquisite, matched pair of Petrified Wood Bookends will certainly hold up some serious volumes but also add a flair of decorative appeal to any space. A mixture of hues of brown, including umber and taupe, along with crystalline veining, makes the smooth faces impressive while still retaining a uniquely "natural" appearance. This represents top-quality material from Arizona.
