Petrified Palm Wood Cabochons. This material is also know as Palmoxylon and it comes from east Texas. These cabochons are great to wire wrap, set into jewelry or collect.
A fascinating illustration of time's passage and nature's transformational force is petrified palm wood. These ancient gems were once living palm trees, but over millions of years, they underwent an amazing metamorphosis that preserved the delicate cellular structure of the original wood while gradually converting into stone.
The earthy tones found in each piece of petrified palm wood are distinctive, varying from warm browns and tans to subtle touches of red, grey, and black. These fossilized remains have remarkable patterns and textures that bear witness to the geological processes that produced them, producing an enthralling exhibition of natural craftsmanship.
