Petrified Palm Wood sphere
is 1.5 inches or 40 mm in diameter.
As is common with the material, the sphere has lots of small vugs and surface flaws. (See the last picture for one larger flaw.)
This is Petrified Palm Wood, Palmoxylon, from Indonesia.
This gemstone is the fossilized wood of palm trees from the Oligocene Epoch, about 20 to 40 million years ago. The petrified wood formed when a tree died and was buried by sediments. Minerals in the groundwater then permeated the wood, replacing the original organic matter and turning it to stone. The main mineral is silica, but trace elements in the silica create a variety of colors.
Metaphysical Properties:
Petrified Palm Wood is said to remove petty annoyances and enhance one's connection to earth and nature.
