Petrified Texas Palmwood is a fossilized form of ancient palm, dating back to the Eocene Epoch, around 34 to 56 million years ago. Found primarily in Texas and Louisiana, this unique material features striking patterns of rod- or grain-like structures, often in shades of brown, tan, or cream. With a Mohs hardness of 6.5 to 7, it's durable and polished for use in jewelry, lapidary art, and fossil collections. Its distinct texture and fossil origin make it a highly sought-after specimen for both collectors and enthusiasts of natural history.
