Let's take a look at this Multicolor Petrified Wood Agate Slab. Contains tiny geodes (druses) as well as clear Chalcedony. The slice is a beautiful self-standing decoration. It is as natural as mineral flakes can be. It's not polished, just cut, the edges are completely raw. Do you see the blue spots? It is a blue opal. This slab is a true blend of rare minerals.
So how did it come about? The original organic matter (wood) has been naturally replaced by agate, chalcedony and opal, all high quality rare minerals. Materials like this are typical for Indonesia. This one comes specifically from West Java. Can you imagine working 10-12 hours every day, including weekends, with only basic low quality tools and no roof over your head? This is exactly how Indonesian artisans work in a constant effort to support their families. By buying this mineral slice, you support one of them. Thank you!
How to use the slab? If you include it in your mineral collection, place it in a glass display case. It needs moderate lighting to show off its bright colors nicely. People often include mineral plates in mosaics placed on the wall instead of paintings. What a creative way to use cuts! This one is very colorful, so it requires a solid color background, such as white or light gray. Since it is freestanding, you can also place it on a shelf or table. It will decorate your living room, bedroom or dining room.
How to take care of it? To preserve the vibrant colors, I recommend occasionally applying a little oil. In my experience, wood furniture treatment oil is the best for this purpose.
