Petrified Sycamore Wood from Oregon

This stunning slab of petrified Sycamore wood, sourced from Oregon, is a testament to the region's rich geological history. Measuring substantially in size, its aesthetic shape showcases the natural beauty of petrified wood. One side of the slab has been polished to a high-gloss finish, revealing the full beauty of the petrified wood.

Petrified wood is formed through a process called permineralization, where mineral-rich groundwater replaces the original organic material. This process occurs over thousands of years, resulting in a detailed and three-dimensional representation of the wood's cellular structure.

The presence of petrified Sycamore wood in Oregon provides valuable insights into the region's geological history. The wood's preservation suggests that the area was once a subtropical forest, with abundant rainfall and a warm climate.
