Petrified Wood Points from Madagascar
Petrified Wood
Petrified wood occurs when wood becomes fossilised over a long period through the process of permineralisation, where organic material is replaced by minerals such as quartz. The original wood pattern is usually well preserved in the process, creating the recognisable wood texture in stone.
It occurs worldwide in areas with volcanic activity or rich in siliceous water, such as in the United States (Arizona), Indonesia and Madagascar. Its chemical composition is usually SiOâ‚‚, as it consists mostly of quartz. Its hardness is around 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale.
Popular varieties are distinguished by colour and origin, such as red-brown petrified wood from Arizona and black petrified wood from Indonesia.

Points
Our collection of points includes natural as well as polished and polished specimens, sourced from various countries. We supply points from Madagascar, China, Brazil and India, among others. These differences in origin create distinct variations in shape, finish and appearance.
Madagascar points are generally a bit more substantial in shape, with rounder facets and a more robust look. Chinese points, on the other hand, are tighter and sharper cut, often a bit smaller and with a more refined finish. Both countries usually supply hexagonal shapes. The points from India are usually square in ground shape and slightly less pointed than the variants from China, giving them a character of their own.
Most items have a minimum order of 500 grams. You will receive a selection from the range available at that time. We always select the most beautiful and varied combinations according to our own taste. Please note that sizes may vary per stone type, country and delivery, so the size selection may be wider. We try to indicate this as best we can in the product information.
We have divided the points into the following categories:
Points per Piece | Points per Weight
Our weighing products are carefully selected with each order. Under 'Additional information' for each product, you will find details on dimensions, weight and in some cases the number of pieces. This information is an indication and may vary slightly.
For products weighing more than one kilo, we apply a weighing margin of 100 grams. For products under one kilo, we apply a weighing margin of 50 grams. In both cases upwards and downwards.
You always pay for the exact weight of the products received, as stated on the invoice or specification. We will not notify you separately when a weighing margin is applied.
