Petrified Wood With Quartz Druze

Guys look what I have 🪵🪵🪵 Rare Petrified Wood With Quartz Druze covering from Brown Coal Open Pit Zwenkau, Leipzig, Saxony / Germany

35 million years ago the mineral Quartz fossilised the wood of dead roots and converted it into petrified wood. In this case, the former annual rings were opened and hollow spaces were formed on which the quartz crystals could grow.

The site had been inaccessible for many years and lies several meters below the groundwater level. 🪵🪵🪵💕 #fossil #fossiladdict #crystal #quartz #petrifiedwood #wood
