Description

This piece is something very special. In this piece of volcanic ash is a branch of the plant Dadoxylon sp. embedded. The branch is made entirely of violet fluorite. The age of the fossil is about 290,000,000 years. It was formed during the eruption of the Zeisigwald volcano in Chemnitz. Chemnitz is currently the only known place in the world where petrified wood with fluorite is found. The piece is a bit polished. A great fossil from this point.
