Petrified Palmwood cabochon created by Monkeylion Designs, wrapped in handwoven copper that has been antiqued to match the beautiful striations in the wood.
What is now arid Texas was a lush tropical forest 100 million years ago. Trees that fell into mineral-rich mud before having a chance to decay became petrified wood, which is actually a quartz-like stone. The organic wood cells were replaced over time by minerals, often retaining the detailed shape of the original prehistoric wood. Petrified wood is called the most beautiful of fossils.
Approximately 2 1/8" long and 1 1/16" long.
This pendant has been antiqued, polished and sealed.
Sealed with Protectaclear.
