Description

This is a piece of petrified wood. It consists almost exclusively of violet fluorite. The fossil wood is dadoxylon sp., a type of conifer. The wood is about 290 million years old. It was created after the explosion of the Zeisigwald volcano. This volcano buried a whole forest under it. Even today, with good luck, petrified wood can be found in the urban area of Chemnitz Hilbersdorf. Petrified wood, which is made of fluorite, is only available in Chemnitz.
