BUBBLY BLUE AGATE "CANDLE WOOD" Sumatra, Indonesia unpolished petrified wood

Description

Tropical hardwood limb section  (Incertae sedis)
Tertiary
Aceh Region, Sumatra Island, Indonesia
Excellent full round limb that was imported several years ago and given a trade name of "Candle Wood" because of the beautiful sky blue, waxy luster, and occasionally botryoidal chalcedony that has infiltrated and precipitated into the cracks in the wood creating a beautiful display specimen.  While we don't normally like to use trade names given to specimens by enterprising dealers, so many collectors recognize the name candle wood that we too are using it in this case.  In fact, it is a quite-black, broadleaf evergreen tropical hardwood with several accents of the blue chalcedony.  This limb section even has a knot along the exterior length.  We have seen some of the wood cut and polished but have always thought that the all-natural specimens are the finest to appreciate.  Thus, we have added only all natural specimens of this unique material to our own collection and suggest that you consider doing the same.  This limb section specimen measures 6" long and 1.75" in diameter.
We specialize in petrified wood and plant fossils which are accurately identified as to locality of origin and family, genus or species. We don’t guess and when we don’t know, we say so! Your specimen will come with a label identifying the specimen, the locality where it was collected, the formation and age of the material and any other pertinent information we have gleaned from our literature search.
