Green Petrified Wood Sphere
Indeterminate Species
Miocene
Hampton Butte, Oregon
Green fossilized wood is extremely rare, being found in only three areas of the world. This gorgeous green sphere has been carved from a section of 15-million-year-old fossilized wood. Green jasper has been highly valued as a gemstone since ancient Greek times. Some wood grain is still visible on the sphere but only in small portions, making the source tree unidentifiable.
