This agatized petrified palm root comes from Indonesia. This has a natural creamy brown and golden color with a distinctive black swath.
Petrified palm root is from the root system of the tree. It typically does not have the visible fiber patter of the tree section, but often has a variety of intersecting swirls and colors, often with translucent sections that bring depth and perspective to the piece. During the petrification process, each carbon atom in the wood is slowly replaced with a silicon atom, thus the agitization process. Many consider it a type of agate.
