Description

Petrified Conifer Stump Pair
Arizona, USA
3.04 x 2.91 x 2.74 inches (7.73 x 7.40 x 6.95 cm)

Deep black interiors contrasted by rugged, weathered exteriors give these two small Petrified Wood limb sections a striking, minimalist presence. The polished faces reveal dense Silica replacement with subtle zoning and occasional internal veining, while the outer surfaces preserve the original texture of the ancient wood. Even without a specific taxonomic identification, the specimens show clear structural features consistent with well-mineralized limb fragments. Their compact size makes these ideal for display arrangements, accent groupings, or educational collections focused on fossilization processes. This paired set offers an appealing glimpse into the transformation of wood into stone on a somewhat diminutive scale.

Estimate: $400 - up.
