    This item's owner is actively responding to offers, usually within 3 days. Most owners in this category are still actively buying, and therefore interested only in offers where they can net (after our 10% fee) an amount sufficiently above today's market value. Owners in this category seldom counter-offer, and will usually simply reject offers placed at current auction values or lower.

    Description

    Petrified Wood Slab
    Araucarioxylon arizonicum
    Triassic
    Chinle Formation
    Arizona, USA
    9.05 x 7.95 x 0.64 inches (23.00 x 20.20 x 1.63 cm)

    This is an exceptional specimen of "rainbow" Petrified Wood from Arizona, with all of the characteristics that are desirable in this colorful fossil material. The hues are very vibrant, with a myriad of rich orange-reds, soft blues, and deep magentas punctuated by a "sun-burst" of yellow in the center. This colorful 200 million year old fossil is in good condition and features a solid "rind" around much of the outer rim.

    [Scale: 1 inch, with mark at 1 cm]
