Compact Madagascar Petrified Wood Slice – Polished Display

Polished Petrified Wood Slice from Mahajanga, Madagascar

This expertly cut and polished Petrified Wood slice from Mahajanga, Madagascar showcases the timeless beauty of ancient forests turned to stone. Measuring approximately 62mm x 49mm x 12mm and weighing 62g, this compact yet striking piece reveals rich natural tones and distinctive grain patterns that can only come from millions of years of mineral transformation.

Petrified Wood forms when fallen trees are rapidly buried by sediment and volcanic ash. In the Mahajanga region of Madagascar—known for its exceptional fossil deposits—silica-rich waters slowly permeated the buried wood, replacing organic material cell by cell. Over millions of years, this process preserved every detail of the original structure, transforming the wood into durable quartz while maintaining its natural texture and growth rings.

For collectors, a slice like this offers a tangible window into Earth’s prehistoric landscapes. Its exceptional polish on both sides enhances its display quality, making it a standout specimen for fossil enthusiasts, crystal collectors, or anyone who appreciates natural history.
