2.5" Polished Petrified Palm Wood Sphere - Indonesia
This is a 2.5" wide, polished sphere of petrified palm wood (Palmoxylon) from Sumatra, Indonesia. The vascular nature of root means that traditional tree rings are replaced by pores and channels. The sphere has been expertly polished to a glossy finish.
Comes with an acrylic ring display stand.

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.
