Petrified palm root cab ~
Offered here is a splendid cabochon of rare petrified palm wood, from Texas. This ancient fossil material has been a joy to work with, showing none of the typical pits and chalky soft spots this petrified wood so often has. The once-living palm's speckled figure is still apparent here, but what really catches the eye is the wood's unusual colors, patterning, and the strong contrast between them. It's not often you find such good quality pet palm with shades of cream, burnt orange, taupe and jet black as well as a striking pattern all in one piece, so I took extra care to shape the cab to make the most of everything it had to offer. No pet wood collection is complete without an example of palm wood, and this one is truly a delight. The cab has a graceful 'flame' shape, a well rounded dome of 5mm, and it is perfectly polished both front and back.
