Truly beautiful sculpture of petrified wood. Beautiful colors and great design. A jewel in every interior. Just beautiful to put down and enjoy the wonders of nature. Must be seen. Height is 70 cm. Width 53 cm and depth 30 cm. Weight is 140!! kilograms. Petrified wood is fossil wood in which all organic materials have been replaced by minerals, usually by silicates, such as quartz, while retaining the structure of the wood. The process of petrification happens underground, when a tree becomes buried under sediment, and can take millions of years. Groundwater that slowly seeps through the soil deposits minerals where lignin and cellulose rot. If deposition and rotting occur at the same rate, the shape of the cells is retained. The smallest details can be immortalized. Fossilized annual rings and various tissues can be traced down to the microscopic level. Petrified wood has a hardness of 7 on the Mohs hardness scale, the same as quartz.
