1.4" Polished Petrified Palm Root Egg - California
This is a 1.4" tall, polished egg carved from petrified palm root collected in California. The vascular nature of root means that traditional tree rings are replaced by pores and channels. It has been entirely polished to a flawless glossy finish, showing off these internal structures.
Petrified palmwood includes a group of fossil woods that contain rod-like structures within the regular grain of the silicified or agatized wood. Depending upon the angle at which they are cut, these structures show up as spots, tapering rods, or continuous lines. The rod-like structures are sclerenchyma bundles that comprise part of the woody tissues that gave the wood its vertical strength.
