North America, Southwestern United States, Arizona, Late Triassic, ca. 225 million years ago. A spectacular and large slab of fossilized or petrified tree trunk cut into book ends! The trunk was sliced crossways and sharp 90 degree sides, then highly polished on one of the planar faces to showcase the interior rings of the tree that have fossilized (petrified) into quartz and agate - the minerals that replaced the once organic tree material.
Arizonian petrified wood is one of the most colorful and desirable types, often called "rainbow wood" as exemplified here in warm hues of red and maroon, and ochre yellow. The colors are otherworldly and drastically different than what the original wood must have been! Size: 4.5" L x 4" H, width varies from 1.25-1.5". One side polished, one side matte finish. Excellent bark raw edge. Felt on other two edges.
