wire-wrapped pendant featuring a large, polished petrified wood cabochon. The stone displays natural wood grain patterns and earthy tones of brown, yellow, and possibly some red or orange streaking, which are typical of petrified wood's mineral composition, often involving iron oxides. The material is dense and has a stone-like feel, yet retains the original structure and patterns of the ancient wood.  The handcrafted piece is secured by intricate wire work in silver. The style is common in artisan and handmade jewelry, connecting the wearer to the Earth's prehistoric past.
