Peanut Wood shaped & prefinished amooth lapidary slab, all sides flat, mirror finish, natural colors, naturally sealed fractures (25180)

I prefinished this slab by removing ugly pits and fractures and trimmed away anything that didn't look good. I shaped it and gave it a final 1200 diamond grit sanded smooth finish. Based on their physical makeup some end up with a really nice shine, sometimes like a mirror. If I have to leave anything in, like pits or fractures, I will mention them in the below description. This slab is nice enough to use in your designer jewelry or in your collection.

My total shipping charge is $4.99 for any number of listings you purchase. If the total is over $35 you will automatically get free shipping, also if you purchase more than 5 listings I will manually make sure you get free shipping.

Rare petrified driftwood. No enhancements. Peanut Wood is a rare and beautiful petrified drift wood from Australia. Rare because it's rarely mined, mainly because it required heavy equipment to get it out of the ground, and by the lack of water at the location found. 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.
