This nice slab of Petrified Wood is over 8 inches (20 cm) in diameter and is characterized by a general mustard yellow coloration. This slab from an ancient pine log has a subtle ring patterning with a core that radiates out from the center. The back has been coated for reinforcement, and the polished face reveals the depth and beauty of this 200 million year old fossil material. This is a fine representation of this classic material.
