6lbs+ Petrified Palm Root Agate Slice Polished Slab Indonesian 2690 grams

Petrified Palm Root Agate Slice Polished Slab Indonesian | A Grade | 2690 grams | 6lbs 1oz Very rare stunning large Statement display Chunk slice of petrified Palm Root. 13 x 8 inches ❤️ Fossilized palm root is the miracle of elemental forces that have transformed the root and wood of the Indonesian palm into beautiful crystal formations. It takes millions of years and tremendous pressure for water rich in minerals to fracture the fossilized wood and leave deposits with their distinctive colors. The carbon atoms are slowly replaced with silicon atoms in this petrification process, resulting in beautiful swirls and colors. It's also known as the agitization process. It turns the wood and root of a tree into a material with a crystalline structure, making the palm root a member of the chalcedony family. Color combinations when minerals penetrate the wood: ❤️ Palm Root Agate is very much like a Petrified Wood, Organic matter that is trapped and replaced by silica, turning the original form to stone. Palm Root is just so unique that it doesn't seem right to throw it in with the different types of woods. ❤️All our stones are stored at our small ranch in California and are allowed to soak up the peaceful and loving environment. They are not stuffed away in boxes or crates, but outside on display until they change homes. There are many animals here, many previously neglected and abused that are drawn to the stones; no doubt the energy makes them curious as animals,
