Petrified palm root cab ~
Offered here is a splendid cabochon of rare petrified palm root, from California's Mojave Desert. This fossil material is a joy to work with, showing next to none of the typical fractures petrified wood so often has. The once-living palm's ringed pattern is quite apparent here, with a feast of neat eyes in pastels of orange, brown and palest blue with cream. Some areas do have a bit of translucence too, and as you can see, it's quite different from the more common pet palm from Texas and Lousiana. This one is sure to look grand in most any setting, or as a centerpiece in your collection. The cab has a very high rounded dome of 8mm, a gracefully curved designer shape, and is polished both front and back.
