Rare petrified driftwood. No enhancements. Peanut Wood is a rare and beautiful petrified drift wood from Australia. Rare because it is rarely mined, mainly because it required heavy equipment and the lack of water at the location found in. The lighter areas of the stone are made by a marine wood-boring bivalve named Teredo.

This is an ancient drift wood that sank to the mud at the bottom of the ocean and remained for millions of years. as a drift wood it is now found along the edges of the Kennedy Ranges about 100 miles inland from the coastal town of Carnarvon, Western Australia. The geological formation found in makes it around 120 million years old. The wood is of several varieties, the main ones being "Araucaria"...a conifer & podocarp, called Peanut wood because it resembled peanuts.

INFO ON SLABS

Use my pictures with the 10 x 10 mm background squares and the 18 mm dime to help with size visualization. All pictures show a slab that has been given a nice glow or bright polish using 600-1200 diamond grit.

I try to eliminate all the pits and open fractures and I smooth all sides. I will note anything I couldn't remove. Your going to get a slab that is going to be easy to finish or use asis. If your going to make a cab you will find it a lot easier with my slabs. No waste to deal with.
