Located in the Indonesian East Indies are the Islands of Java and Sumatra. On those remote corners lays 100 feet buried deep beneath the sands of time an entire tropical rain forest that is over 25 million years old. These ancient hardwood tree's have over a long period of time through the petrification process turned into stone fossils. The Petrified Wood that we find there now is mostly from Teak, Mahogany and Palm woods. Along side the fossil logs and stumps can also be found Agate, Jasper and Fossilized Coral stones.
