Madagascar Petrified Wood Slice - Palm Size | Rare Earth Gallery

This Madagascar Petrified Wood Slice is a rare earth gallery fossil that adds an interesting home accent to any decor. Hand crafted and single-side polished, the fossilized piece is palm sized and makes a great conversation starter. This unique petrified wood specimen slice comes from Madagascar and is sure to add an exotic touch to any home. Madagascar Petrified Wood is over 80,000,000 years old. The trees originally grew during the Triassic Period. After the trees died, they were buried by sediment; decomposing slowly. Saturated with water/mud rich in silica and trace minerals, eventually the silica and various other minerals replaced the cast left behind by the wood and the logs became stone. The beautiful coloring of the wood is due to to traces of iron, manganese and carbon that stained the silica. Over time, the sediment covering or surrounding the wood erodes, exposing the petrified logs beneath the surface.
