This 5-pound polished slab displays vivid blue azurite, green malachite, and teal chrysocolla banding flowing through ancient fossilized wood grain. The swirling patterns are entirely natural, formed millions of years ago when copper-rich water penetrated fractures in buried wood, depositing these intensely colored minerals as the wood slowly petrified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCollawood bridges the worlds of mineral and fossil collecting. True specimens from Zile are extremely scarce — the deposit is limited and diminishing. This is a museum-grade display piece that will only become rarer over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eANCIENT · RARE · IRREPLACEABLE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdetails class=\"collapsible-section\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWhat is Collawood?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCollawood is a rare form of petrified wood found exclusively near Zile, Turkey. The name comes from chrysocolla (\"colla\"), one of several copper-bearing minerals that replace and fill fractures in the original wood. The most prized specimens contain deep blue azurite, vivid green malachite, teal chrysocolla, and occasionally yellow volborthite — all naturally deposited over millions of years. No two pieces are alike. Collawood is sought after by both fossil and mineral collectors worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails class=\"collapsible-section\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003eDetails\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecimen: Petrified Wood with Azurite, Malachite, and Chrysocolla\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClassification: Collawood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 5.001 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: Approx 14 x 10 x 1 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Zile, Turkey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAge: Millions of years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Polished slab\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne of a kind — museum-grade specimen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails class=\"collapsible-section\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003eExplore More\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/collectors-edition\"\u003eCollector's Edition\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/new-arrivals\"\u003eNew Arrivals\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Avant","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":53712939712801,"sku":"AVANT-COLLA-5001","price":4000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0252\/6845\/3410\/files\/turkish--petfrieidwoodazurite--14x10x1--5.001--7284.jpg?v=1791935587","url":"https:\/\/www.crystals.com\/products\/rare-petrified-wood-collawood-slab-turkey","provider":"CRYSTALS.COM","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
