It was collected from a historic brown coal open-pit mine in Zwenkau, Saxony, Germany. Because this mining site is now completely flooded and inaccessible, no new specimens will ever be recovered, making it a highly finite and collectible piece.\nUnlike fully petrified wood that has entirely turned to stone, this specimen is permineralized. This means the exterior and internal cavities are encrusted in sparkling quartz that preserves ancient cellular details, while the interior core still contains lightweight, organic mummified wood. The result is a striking, natural contrast between ancient wood structure and brilliant crystal growth. This unique geological history makes it an exceptional conversational display piece for fossil collectors, crystal enthusiasts, and unique home decor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 257\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.5 x 2.5 x 1.25\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLocality:\u003c\/strong\u003e Zwenkau, Leipzig, Saxony, Germany (Triassic Period 250-200 MYA)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Little Lemuria","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52594675351768,"sku":"930DDS2219","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0013\/6826\/0669\/files\/DS2219.png?v=1773677358","url":"https:\/\/littlelemuria.com\/products\/permineralized-conifer-wood-ds2219","provider":"Little Lemuria","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
