Product description
Your 4 oz Bag of Petrified palmwood from Texas will
look similar to the above shown images. Your Bag of petrified Texas
Palmwood will average about 8-10 pcs that will range in size from
approximately 3/8″ to 1 1/4″ dia. One image above shows the rough rocks
in a polished state. Petrified palmwood is a favorite of rock collectors
because it is replaced by silica and exhibits well-defined rod-like
structures and variety of colors. As a result, it exhibits a wide range
of colors and designs when cut that can be incorporated into jewelry and
other ornamental items. A superior rock for tumbling in rock tumblers.
Because it is composed of silica, it is hard enough to polish and
withstand the wear and tear of normal use.Specimens from the Oligocene
epoch (34 – 23 million years ago) can be collected from many scattered sites in east
Texas and western Louisiana. Fossils found near fossil palmwood include
corals, sponges, and mollusks, indicating that the palms grew along
prehistoric beaches. For millions of years, the Gulf Coast shoreline has
been moving farther south.Petrified palmwood includes a group of fossil
woods that contain prominent rod-like structures within the regular
grain of the silicified wood. Depending upon the angle at which they are
cut by fracture, these rod-like structures show up as spots, tapering
rods, or continuous lines.It is the state stone of Texas. !WARNING!
Choking hazard-adult supervision suggested.
