Petrified palm root cab ~
Offered here is a cabochon of petrified palm root, newly arrived GEM material from Sumatra. This fossil wood is a fascinating piece of the earth's natural history, and I think it's absolutely gorgeous stuff! It's 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 extraordinary, with a contrasting pattern of creamy tan petioles against a backdrop of jet black and brown. Awesome windblown eyes at the larger end, with tiny tubes inside. Please click the photos up to full size to enjoy the amazing details. No pet wood collection is complete without an example of palm wood, and this one is truly a delight. The cab has a bold designer 'spear' shape, a well rounded dome of 6mm, and it is perfectly polished both front and back.
Size: 62x18mm
