Petrified Wood Object

Cut open, a rough lump reveals bands of red and white like layered cake.

This is a crazy lace petrified wood object. Crazy lace is a trade name for petrified wood with swirling, lace-like patterns of silica, and it takes a bright polish when cut. Craggy white and gray crust surrounds a polished face of curved stripes in rust red, cream and brown. Dark gray pockets sit in the center, and the base is crumbly and uneven. It is 3.25 inches wide, 4 deep and 3 high.

It hid all that color and waited for the saw.
