This beautiful end piece of petrified wood from Australia is known as "Peanut Wood". It gets it's name due to the fact that it is actually petrified driftwood that is full of boreholes from larvae, commonly know as shipworms. These boreholes were filled in by a white mineral during the fossilization process, giving this petrified wood it's unique appearance. The wood itself is from Aruacaria.
