1.5 inch 41 mm Petrified Wood Stone Sphere Decorator This hand-cut sphere is 1.5 inches in diameter, and made from Petrified Wood. It is sometime of Cypress wood and comes from the Northwest USA. About 1/3 of it is reddish brown with "polka dots" and the rest is a swirly tan color. Very nice piece! The petrified wood formed when a tree died and was buried by sediments. Minerals in the groundwater then permeated the wood, replacing the original organic matter and turning it to stone. The main mineral is silica, but trace elements in the silica create a variety of colors. E-mail a friend about this item. | |||||||||||||||
