This unbelievable heart is shaped from pure, natural Arizona Rainbow petrified wood from the Arizona Chinle Formation, USA.

I t has one of the most unique colour patterns and best shapes you’ll find from this incredible petrified forest! The colour in this magnificent specimen simply has to be seen in person to be truly appreciated – it looks as if the patterns were created by a tie dye artist! It clearly shows where Arizona “rainbow” wood gets its fanciful name! You will see in the photographs that on BOTH sides, there are small voids in the agatised wood, containing micro crystalline quartz/ agate.. We have a very good friend who lives very close to the Chinle formation in Arizona and he made 3 of these giant, beautiful hearts, especially for us. We have kept one for our private collection and have the other two available for sale. Although not cheap, this giant Arizona Petrified Wood heart is totally unique, one of only 3 which, to our knowledge, are the only ones in existence.

We have included a 1cm square yellow cube in the photographs to give you an idea of how large this fabulous item is. To complete the picture, this piece comes with a choice of TWO deluxe mineral stands. A LITTLE INFORMATION ABOUT PETRIFIED WOOD: Petrified wood is a fossil. It forms when plant material is buried by sediment and protected from decay due to oxygen and organisms. Then, groundwater rich in dissolved solids flows through the sediment, replacing the original plant material with silica, calcite, pyrite, or another inorganic material such as opal. The result is a fossil of the original woody material that often exhibits preserved details of the bark, wood, and cellular structures. Some specimens of petrified wood are such accurate preservations that people do not realise they are fossils until they pick them up and are shocked by their weight. These specimens with near-perfect preservation are unusual; however, specimens that exhibit clearly recognisable bark and woody structures are very common. The image shows the ACTUAL SPECIMEN you will receive unless otherwise stated. We only sell the finest minerals, crystals & fossils. Please remember this when comparing our specimens with others. Please also check the sizes of competitors’ specimens. Many photograph their specimens to appear much larger than they actually are, resulting in disappointment. We usually include a 1cm cube in at least one of the photographs to give a sense of scale. All our minerals, crystals & fossils are ethically sourced and are 100% natural specimens just as they come out of the ground. We NEVER sell altered, embellished, dyed or artificially enhanced specimens, such as screaming fluorescent agates,’day glow’ dyed amethysts or’aura’ vapour coated crystals. We’re here to help.
