This is about as classic as it gets with specimens from Madagascar. This slice of petrified wood has a gorgeous shape while showcasing almost every color known in this area. Madagascar is one of the world's premier spots for breathtaking petrified wood specimens. Most of the material that comes from this area contains hues of browns, oranges, and reds.
Petrified Wood, also known as fossil wood, is just that, fossilized wood. This process is the replacement of organic material with other minerals such as quartz once the wood has been covered by dirt and debris. The wood has to be set in an anaerobic environment with flowing mineral water for this process to take place. This allows the process to occur in as little as 1000 years. No wonder there is so much petrified wood out there!
