This is lovely RARE Petrified Wood tumble polished piece is 2.5 inches by 2.37 inches and 1.17 inch thick.
This one does have a "heart". It is tumble polished so there are several natural pits.
Lovely and very rare Paleosmunda Petrified Wood is a member of the Osmundoidae family from the Paleozoic Era, Permian Period (approximately 290 million years old) found in Central Queensland, Australia.
This petrified wood is the fossilized stone of the leaves and stems of the Osmunda fern, Paleosmunda williansoni.
Petrified Wood formed when a tree died and was quickly 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.
