This is a very colorful, extra large slab cut from an absolutely premium petrified wood log from Madagascar!  I'd waited to cut this log for more than a year and a half, knowing it was bound to be one of the best.  Boy did I underestimate that!!  The unprecedented and 100% natural gem color became much more intense on the interior of the log, appearing like a burning red corona framing dark green and other natural shades that themselves framed a more traditional Madagascar natural wood colored center.   This is one of our single most interesting and prettiest Madagascar specimens and I can easily say it's the best I have in this size range.  I've had many at this point and this one is a true collector piece and a rare beauty by any measure!  The incredible color variations preserved in the wood grain are unmatched by any log I've cut from this forest.  This is a particularly ancient forest and the stone logs are roughly 200 million years old.  It has been prepared using our own proprietary lapidary process prior to polish to the mirror finish it now shows to produce a world class display piece.    

We purchased some new logs this year from a new miner at the wholesale shows and I'm really excited by the wonderful color in these nicely preserved specimens!  The color variations preserved in the wood grain are unmatched by any log I've cut from this forest and that starburst wood grain looks like a celestial wonder!  This gorgeous, absolutely choice petrified wood round is the latest in a series of really nice, very colorful rounds that we've cut from some nice, larger logs we obtained this year in Tucson.  I met a new miner this year that brought some petrified logs in from this distant island nation and what he had was by far the best I'd seen in many, many years.  Very nice, brilliantly colored logs hand selected for wood structure and eye appeal.  I bought several and couldn't wait to start cutting.  This log is the first in the series and the color really is remarkable!  

In this case, I cut a large sized, short log to produce some of the nicest Madagascar rounds I've ever seen! Since I'm the one that cut it, I was able to apply some of the craftsmanship I've learned over the years to avoid problems with flaked out fracture lines that are common in the imported specimens.  I've also polished it to a much higher quality luster than you find on the imported varieties. Even if you already have Madagascar wood in your collection, you owe it to yourself to see how nice these ancient treasures can be when properly prepared! This wood takes an extreme polish that looks just fabulous. It has a ton of detail and some of the nicest colors I've ever seen in petrified wood (and considering what we usually have on hand this is saying a lot). The neutral interior is nicely accented with a huge variety of colors all swirled with other natural tones that preserved the fibrous wood cell structure from this ancient tree fossil very well. The heart is clearly visible and there are several crystal filled cavities that penetrate the surface. It's a striking Madagascar wood round sure to enhance any collection! .

It's just amazing how beautiful petrified wood can be and this fine specimen found halfway around the world shows to what lengths people will go to bring these treasures to market! If you don't own a top grade piece form this increasingly important deposit yet in your own collection, this is your chance.

This is a perfect round cut from the center of a nice sized log. This stone has been professionally polished on a special lap that produces a flat face and a mirror perfect shine. The polish really is liquid perfect - a difference in the quality products Sticks-in-Stones has built its reputation on! 

It measures about 19" x 9 1/2" across the mirror polished face.  It's cut about 0.76" thick. Weight is about 8.56 lbs.
