Beschreibung:

Auracarioxylon arizonicum Triassic Chinle Formation, Arizona A beautiful and decorative petrified wood slab exhibits a profusion of colors including warm reds, grays, ivories, yellows and watery bluish-purple tones. Specimens from the Chinle Formation are known for their breathtaking array of color, and this piece is no exception. The elegant form of this piece makes it an exquisite item for display, while the splashes of color further enhance its natural beauty. Petrification occurs when trees are quickly covered over with silica-rich sediments, which later seep into the trees and harden into quartz; the fascinating coloration results from the presence of trace elements and minerals in those sediments. This is a fine example of some of the world's most sought-after petrified wood, which has been polished to create a highly decorative piece to enhance any interior design arrangement. Measures 42.50 x 27 x 2in
