Description
~ Petrified palm root cab ~

Offered here is an unusual cabochon of petrified palm root, GEM material from Sumatra. This fossil wood is a fascinating piece of the earth's natural history. Here's an interesting detail: The fellow that found it believes that only the buried part of the palm tree was preserved to undergo the fossilization process, because none of the ancient trunks were found. I think it's absolutely gorgeous stuff! This stone features ropy tendrils and pools of blue agate, faithfully showing the patterns of the once living palm. Very unique! No fossil collection is complete without a nice example of this amazing new palm root. But it ought to make a fabulous item of jewelry too. -smile- The cab has a well rounded dome of 6mm, and a versatile teardrop shape, brought to a brilliant glassy polish both front and back.

Size: 51x23mm
Weight: approximately 50 carats
