Petrified palm root cab suite ~
Offered here is suite of three matching cabochons cut from petrified palm root, GEM material from Sumatra. This ancient fossil wood is a fascinating piece of the earth's natural history. Here's an interesting detail: The fellow that found it theorizes that only the buried part of the palm trees were preserved to undergo the fossilization process, because no remnants of the trunks were found. I think it's absolutely gorgeous stuff! These examples have interesting windblown eyes, and tiny jagged pools of bluish agate here and there. The jet black areas contrast nicely with the creamy areas, and show off the many wisps & tendrils, for extra added character. Very unique! They ought to make some fabulous items of jewelry. The larger 'flame' shaped stone has a well rounded dome of 5mm, while the smaller teardrop pair are 4.5mm in thickness. Each of the three stones have a slick, glassy polish both front and back.
Size: 44x26mm, 18x11mm pair
Weight: approximately 52 carats total
