Petrified Wood Bookends |
BK300c This is a
very nice larger set of Cypress Petrified Wood bookends from Saddle Mt., Washington. This set measures 15" wide x 8
3/8" tall x 2 1/4" and has a nice polish on the face and have
black felt on the bottom and middle for protection. It has contrasting
colors of Beige, Tan, and Brown with neat bark on the outer edge all in a very unique design. Just beautiful!
The set weighs 14 lbs. 7.2 oz. Petrified Wood is a type of a fossil as it consists of fossil wood where all the organic materials have been replaced with minerals while retaining the original structure of the wood. These minerals are most often Silicates such as Quartz. Other minerals, Manganese, Iron and Copper, in the water or mud during the petrification process gives Petrified Wood a variety of color ranges: black - Carbon; green/blue - Copper; red/brown/yellow - Iron. Petrified Wood can preserve the original structure of the wood in all its detail all the way down to the microscopic level. Structures such as tree rings and the various tissues are often observed features. Although Petrified Wood can be found worldwide, it is rather rare in larger quantities and at times can be difficult to obtain by the average collector. |
