Natural History - Huge Sliced Section of Fossilised 'Rainbow' Wood
Natural History - Huge Sliced Section of Fossilised 'Rainbow' Wood
Item Details
Description
235 million years B.P. Petrified tree section of 40-46mm thickness with finely polished finish to upper and lower faces and set into resin; edges slightly chamfered. 26.2 kg, 68 cm (26 3/4 in.).

From the private collection of Mr J.G., UK, a company executive.

The petrified wood from Araucarioxylon arizonicum is often referred to as rainbow wood due to the variety of subtle, warm colours it exhibits, mainly in the red-orange range from hematite and limonite inclusions within the silica.
