Osmunda Petrified Wood End Slice With Heart

This is a small 3 1/4x2 1/2 inch slice of a very interesting type of petrified wood from Queensland, Australia. It's is one of the rarest gem quality petrified woods in the world from the Osmundaceae family of tree ferns.

The end slice is has a high quality polish on one face which allows the beautiful inner wood detail including the heard of the stem to shine through. The fact that the heart of the wood is visible makes it a much rarer find.
