10" Top Quality, Palmwood (Palmoxylon) Round - Myanmar

This is a top quality, 10.5" wide, polished round of Burmese petrified palmwood (Palmoxylon). The vascular bundles under magnification are fascinating and not quite like other palms seen from Asia. It's a large round and comes from part of a petrified wood collection we recently purchased that has some rare and outstanding pieces.

It comes with an acrylic display stand.

Petrified palmwood includes a group of fossil woods that contain rod-like structures within the regular grain of the silicified or agatized wood. Depending upon the angle at which they are cut, these structures show up as spots, tapering rods, or continuous lines. The rod-like structures are sclerenchyma bundles that comprise part of the woody tissues that gave the wood its vertical strength.
