15.4" Rare, Pennsylvanian Petrified Wood Round - Pella, Iowa

This is a rare offering out of an old collection. It is a 15.4" wide, polished round of Pennsylvanian petrified wood from the Lower Cherokee Group. The label indicates that is was collected near Pella, Iowa. Good quality, Mid-West petrified wood is almost impossible to get. We have one other round available off the of the same log which was bleached to lighten it's color while this one is the natural color.
