A complete cross section of Araucaria Mirabilis, a petrified cone of a sequoia. The specimen is in outstanding quality. You can see each single chamber of each single seed. The details are really amazing. And it is not just a slice, it is also complete backside and also backside is excellent - you still can see the structure, the lamellae of the cone and there are no damage at all to all these lamellae. This material is very hard to obtain, and this particular specimen even stands out most others, caused by the undamaged condition and the details of cut front side.
