Todas las subastas / Etnográfica / Natural petrified wood set from Madagascar – Millions of...
This extraordinary Madagascar petrified wood set brings together three fascinating specimens that strikingly showcase the impressive fusion of fossil history and mineral beauty. Over millions of years, the original wood structures were preserved through mineral processes and transformed into unique natural works of art. Each piece displays its own color world and grain. Warm reds, oranges, browns, and golds meet dark contrasts and fine lines that still reveal the original growth structures of the wood. The highly polished surfaces make the natural patterns particularly striking and lend the pieces exceptional depth. The left specimen captivates with vivid reds and oranges, reminiscent of an abstract landscape. The middle piece shows a rare combination of dark, almost black areas and finely layered wood structures, highlighting the fossil origin particularly impressively. The right specimen combines warm red and brown hues with striking natural markings, offering a fascinating insight into the multimillion-year history of this fossil material. Petrified wood is among the most fascinating fossil minerals in the world. Through complete mineralization, the original wood structure remains intact while the material at the same time gains the hardness and durability of stone. The Madagascar specimens are especially valued for their extraordinary colors and excellent polishability. Extraordinary Quartz Hand Polished Petrified Wood Weight: 2436,69g Size: - Treatment: None Origin: Madagascar It is a fossil wood dating back 200 million years, all parts from a log or branches have been silicified, meaning that organic components were little by little replaced by silicon in the form of jasper, chalcedony and more rarely opal. Without the organic parts, all the living matter was replaced by stone : there are growth rings, cell separations, almost like worm cracks. Its features are those of the mineral that would have pseudo-transformed the wood : the silicon. And that’s what we call a "petrified wood" in the common language. The disclaimer about the healing properties as previously given : It is believed that certain gemstones and minerals have beneficial health and spiritual properties.
