Description

This one is for sure the greatest rarity of petrified wood I showed so far on e-rocks. It was only one discovery (and the locality is well known for fossils since 1850), only one find ever of Petrified wood there! The quantity is very limited. The discoverer had about 50 specimen, 5 still in his collection. So world-wide not more than 45 exist in collections.The texture was nearly impossible to photograph – in person you will see a significant, extremely sharp year-rings. Photos don´t do justice to the piece – it is really stunning and again – it represents an outstanding rarity. Complete cross-section, well cut and polished.
