Extra large exotic and rarely seen Chinese conifer. Difficult to photograph well but spectacular in person, we may be the only source of these exceptional rounds in the Western Hemisphere. It's taken us almost a year to get our larger logs shipped here! The Chinese admire petrified wood but do not cut and polish it as western collectors do. I obtained these logs on a visit there and am very pleased to offer them to our collector friends at prices far below the exhorbitant prices the few Chinese pieces I'd seen have sold for in the US. And the quality of these specimens is far superior! The colorful agate veins in this wood make it all the more attractive, but the finely detailed wood grain is what really carries the presentation.

It's so mirror polished that the dark surface acts like a mirror so you see a lot of me reflecting in the face! 19 1/2" x 14" wide - PRICE:$429 - SOLD - Heel cut from this log now available!
