SiS HUGE GREEN BRECCIA 16 Madagascar Petrified Wood AMAZING NATURAL COLOR
This is a truly amazing natural artwork that was nearly 200 million years in the making! This is not only one of the largest Madagascar slabs I’ve finished, it’s also without a doubt one of the most intriguingly colorful and visually captivating petrified wood slabs I’ve seen! This gorgeous, 100% naturally colored gem fossil features more subtle green, red and orange tones than any I’ve seen from Madagascar in years – or any other petrified forest for that matter! This is a very large slab at avoer 16 wide and it is a virtually perfect specimen from one of the most amazing Madagascar logs I’ve ever seen! Most of the detail in a larger piece like this is lost in the photo because there simply aren’t enough pixels on the screen to capture the details. In person however, the wood grain structure, color, and crystal inclusions are truly breath taking. This log was one I imported directly from Madagascar last year and I’ve just finished cutting and polishing it. They are turning out even better than I’d hoped! These are true museum pieces and you just can’t beat the price for a brilliantly polished, flawless and ancient piece of natural art this size! The breccia pattern seen throughout the slab is simply mind boggling. The rich color and mirror perfect finish in this exceptionally preserved specimen are going to have to be seen to be believed! This one is more than thick and large enough to be used as an end table but it is also one of the most incredible pieces of wall art you’ll ever lose yourself in! One of the largest and most productive petrified forests on the planet is on the huge island of Madagascar off the southern African coast. While many have seen the bland and lifeless specimens that are most typically found in this huge deposit, few have had the opportunity to see the top grade, colorful gem fossils that are occasionally unearthed there. Fewer still get to see them properly prepared with a mirror finish to reveal all of the rich fossil wood grain and color! Even the rind on this log is amazing, offering up a perfectly contrasting sandy texture that still looks like a log today. A couple of years ago we located a new source of logs that have produced some truly museum grade specimens and this stunning monster is definitely one of them! The green color alone makes it a collector piece – but add in all the other features in this nearly flawless specimen and you can see why I was so excited to have found the log! They truly do not get much better than this folks, no matter what forest you’re looking at! It’s just amazing how beautiful petrified wood can be and this fine specimen found halfway around the world shows to what lengths people will go to bring these treasures to market! If you don’t own a top grade piece from this increasingly important deposit yet in your own collection, this is your chance. This is a complete round cut from the center of a nice sized log. It shows the distinct (and uncommon to see so well in logs from this location) honeycomb grain structure of modern conifers (no resin canals visible) which makes it related to modern fir and sequoia (it’s probably araucaria). This stone has been professionally polished on our own custom built lap that produces a flat face and a mirror perfect shine. It is a full slab cut from the center of the log. The polish really is liquid perfect – a difference in the quality products Sticks-in-Stones has built its reputation on! It’s also a nice to display size with enough presence to be a center piece on a wall – it measures about 16 3/8″ x 14 1/4″ across the mirror polished face and is cut 0.75 thick. Weight is about 11.5 lbs. The item “SiS HUGE GREEN BRECCIA 16 Madagascar Petrified Wood AMAZING NATURAL COLOR” is in sale since Tuesday, February 5, 2019.
