Polished Petrified Palmwood Bracelet

This is a beautiful bracelet made out of polished petrified palmwood from Indonesia. The petrified wood is Miocene in age, or around 20 million years old. The band stretches so it will accommodate many different sized wrists.

Petrified wood, or agatized wood is wood that's been fossilized through the process of permineralization. It must be buried rapidly before it decays. All the organic materials is replaced with minerals (mostly silicates), while retaining the original structures in the wood.
