Madagascar’s Exquisite Petrified Wood Creations
Madagascar is renowned for its diverse and stunning petrified wood products. Our collection includes everything from XXXL slices to gallets, palm stones, pyramids, and prisms. While slicing is the primary transformation method, only a small fraction of the material is crafted into these various forms.
Petrified wood, known for its density and exceptional hardness, presents a unique challenge in crafting. The captivating range of wood colors and intricate growth ring patterns are skillfully revealed through expert craftsmanship, enhancing the natural allure of each piece.
Much of our regional petrified wood dates back to the Triassic period and is botanically associated with the genus Podocarpus. The petrification process, where organic material is replaced by minerals and the original pore spaces are filled, perfectly exemplifies the transformation of organic material into a fossil. This remarkable phenomenon extends beyond wood to include all organic entities, from bacteria to vertebrates, preserving their forms for eternity.
Explore our collection and experience the captivating beauty and historical significance of Madagascar’s petrified wood.
