Fossil Woods
Most of our slabs are Araucaria species from Holbrook Arizona. The key features to look for when looking at slabs are:
* Is the piece a full round, with bark on the exposed edge?
* Does the piece show at least one heart (the center of the tree)?
* Are there growth rings showing?
* Can the cell structure be found, between the growth rings (for identification purposes)?
* What colors are represented on the piece? This is more up to an individuals taste. Most people are looking for a full rainbow in the piece
(red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple). Others may be looking for a particular color scheme for decorating purposes.
The bulk of our bookends are made of fossil tree fern (Tietea singularis) from Araguaina, Tocantins, Brazil.
