This is a listing for a Fossilized Petrified Iron Wood tower from Utah. The bottom has been slabbed and Polished so it will stand upright as a display tower and you can a See the growth rings. This twisted petrified wood displays knots, holes, and clear bark/wood grain. 10 lbs 12 oz and 10" H x 5" W x 5"D It is a solid agitated wood tower that has excellent cellular replacement. The wood was replaced with minerals that make a ringing metalic sound when you tap it. It was purchased from a second-generation rockshop owner, and it is from his personal family collection. The location for this type of wood is no longer accessible and the supply is finite. I spent countless hours researching this particular type of material to obtain some. The only source, now on an active military base, is not open to the public anymore. As stated above, petrified iron wood got its name for its distinctive composition that makes a ringing sound when struck, its unsually heavy weight, and its excellent preservation of the ancient tree's features. Truely, a specimen that is museum quality for both its rarity, atheistic and extrisic value, this is a must-have for a lover of rare beauty. It makes an excellent display in any showcase or as dcor in your home or office. I will continue to have this specimen on display in my collection until it is sold.
