Description

Petrified Conifer Tabletop and Base
Araucaria sp.
Triassic
Chinle Formation
Arizona, USA

The so-called "rainbow" material from Arizona is some of the most popular Petrified Wood available and is known for its extremely vibrant and colorful hues. This vivid "board" measures just short of 54 inches (137 cm) and features a fiery polished surface, with attractive rust orange, bright magenta, and mustard yellow shades dominating the reflective surface. The rectangular "board" is reinforced, and the edge has minor damage where insignificant pieces had broken off, hardly noticeable given the natural and rugged aspect of the sides of this tabletop specimen. This classic offering also comes with a custom, light brown wood base allowing it to be used immediately as a coffee table. Rarely is anything so naturally beautiful and functional as well. It is further surreal to consider that this superb material is some 200 million years old.
Tabletop Measurements: 53.75 x 26.50 x 2.25 inches (136.52 x 67.31 x 5.71 cm)
