Petrified palmroot root cab ~
Offered here is an unusual collector's cabochon of petrified palm root, newly arrived GEM material from Sumatra. This outstanding fossil wood is a fascinating piece of the earth's natural history. This example has a wild pattern of petiole dots at one side, with several windblown bullseyes at the other side. The whole stone shows amazing grain patterns that's remarkably intricate, with every detail of the living tree faithfully preserved. It has a degree of translucence present in the eye area; within the pools at their centers, you'll find some astonishingly detailed tube-like tendrils resembling tiny straws. Click the photos up to their larger size to see what I mean. Nice contrast in this beauty, very unique! No fossil collection is complete without a fine example of this amazing new palm root. But it ought to make a fabulous item of jewelry too. -smile- The cab has a well rounded dome of 6mm, a graceful designer 'flame' shape, and a brilliant polish both front and back.
