Tietea petrified wood cab ~
Offered here is an interesting cabochon cut from collectible Tietea wood, a species of tree fern found in Brazil's Araguaina petrified forest. This ancient petrified wood is amazingly colorful, probably a lot moreso now than when it was alive some 250 million years ago. There are lovely patches of dark rose red, with white, gray & golden tan, and plenty between. The assorted windblown eyes are actually vascular structures of the once-living plant, which, along with other minute details, are faithfully preserved in the stone. Fascinatingly beautiful! The cab has a low but rounded dome of 5mm, and a crisp spear shape that's polished both front and back.
Size: 45x33mm
Weight: approximately 53 carats
