PETRIFIED WOOD SLAB

Triassic
Chinle Formation
Arizona, USA
6.25 x 5.25 x 0.65 inches (15.87 x 13.33 x 1.67 cm)

The colorful "rainbow" Petrified Wood from Arizona is the "gold standard" of cut and polished material. This quality small slab measuring a full 6 inches (15.24 cm) is an excellent representation of this "classic" variety. Rich magenta covers the majority of this piece which features an electric scarlet-orange "streak" which is almost surreal against the more traditional aspects of the colorful Petrified Wood. The rind has been preserved across the rim whereby the slab has retained its "bark" on this specimen of lapidary art.
