11.5" Colorful Polished Petrified Palm Wood Round - Philippines
This is a colorful, 11.5" wide, polished round of petrified palm wood from the Philippines. The vascular nature of root means that traditional tree rings are replaced by pores and channels. Petrified wood from the Philippines is very uncommon!
Comes with an acrylic-metal display stand. The round doesn't maintain a uniform thickness all the way across, with the thinnest portion measuring .3" and the thickest being 1.2".

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.
