FOSSILISED WOOD - POLISHED COBBLE - Madagascar
« backFOSSILISED WOOD
Beautiful polished cobble
180 million years old
(Jurassic period)
Madagascar
A polished round cobble of fossilised wood. The wood has been completely 'petrified' - all the living tissue has literally been turned to stone, in this case the mineral quartz.
This piece is very tactile and is an attractive colour.
