Petrified Wood Slab

Petrified Wood SlabPerhaps the most well known fossil material in the world, petrified wood is not wood at all but rather the fossilized remnants of trees from millions of years ago. Tree trunks, limbs, and branches that died under conditions that favor fossilization gradually become replaced with minerals until what remains is a replica of the original piece of wood consisting entirely of mineral material. Like the trees they capture the form of, each is unique and

Barite is often found in conjunction with Cerussite

honey gold Barite crystals atop a base of verdant green and purple Fluorite

from prismatic crystals to fibrous wisps

It rarely occurs in crystal form but is often found in botryoidal or fibrous formations

such as agates

Shipping note: due to weight and special packaging requirements

the crab fossil's color can vary from brown to gold depending on what minerals were present at time of fossilization

Malachite is known for its deep green coloration

It is found in many sites across the world

exceptional collector's pieces

and under optimal conditions these insects will be clearly visible within the fossilized amber pieces

each is unique and when cut vertically can reveal a cross section of the tree
