Collector’s Note:
This crystallized fossil wood formed in the Late Triassic, nicknamed ‘Pangea Wood’ for its formation during the breakup of the supercontinent Pangea, when the land was alive with volcanic activity. Eruptions scorched ancient forests, floodwaters carried the logs away, and they were buried deep underground in silica-rich sediment. Over millions of years, quartz and calcite replaced the carbonized wood, creating these sparkling, mineral-rich fossils. Discovered on a private ranch near Holbrook, Northern Arizona—available in very limited quantity.
