Texas has a good deal of palm wood, but the large pieces are still quite coveted. This polished 200 million year-old slab shows interesting stress fractures during formation. They are easily identified by the light colored lines following the ancient fractures. Vugs filled with creme chalcedony bubbles arch gracefully through the piece, giving it wonderful character. Varying colors of brown, creme, black, gold, and tan wood add to the beauty of the specimen. What ever the color of the wood back ground, the vessels seem to be in contrasting color, dotting the whole slab all the way to the complete exterior rim This comes from a very old collection and the back of the slab was stabilized many years ago when the piece was polished.Size: 13 1/2" x 8" x 3/4" 5 poundsEocene Epoch Jackson Fm San Antonio, TX Whoops. It's not 200 million years-old, but it is from the Eocene Epoch and 50 million years-old.
