Druzy German Petrified Wood

This is an amazing piece of petrified wood that underwent petrification by permineralization. This resulted in very detailed preservation that makes this petrified wood specimen look as if it's ready to be thrown on the fire. This piece sparkles in the light as a result of druzy quartz that encrusts much of the wood.

This piece must be seen in person to see how truly sparkly it is!

This permineralized wood was collected from a coal mine deposit in Zwenkau, Eastern Germany. It is Upper Eocene in age, or roughly 35 million years old. Seldom does petrified wood feature this level of preservation detail.
