Petrified Wood, especially of the classic colorful "rainbow" variety from Arizona, can often be one of the most unique and attractive of all plant fossils. In addition, the material can be cut and polished into any number of works of natural art such as with this robust pair of red and blue bookends. This thick pair of bookends are 6.5 inches (16.5 cm) tall, and are ready to hold up most any books. This is a truly solid pair and a perfect present for the holidays.
