Fossil Wood Pebble 6.1cm

Fossil Wood Pebble, fossil and crystal for sale from Madagascar. This delightful 6.1cm long pebble is a section from a Fossil Wood log that has been polished to reveal the vividly coloured Jaspers which have replaced the original wood very slowly in the process of silicification.

Displaying rich red, beige, cream, and chocolate-brown tones with striated patterns, this sophisticated piece is unique in both appearance and origin. The Fossil Wood is sourced from the Araucaria tree, which is more commonly known as the Monkey Puzzle Tree. Originating from the Triassic Period, this piece is 248 million years old and thus a spectacular historical item. The Monkey Puzzle Tree population is in decline today, so here is a chance to own a living fossil from Madagascar. Ideal for a collector or for interior decor.
