Fossil wood
In Vietnam, fossil wood appears quite a lot in some localities, especially Lang Son and Tay Nguyen. Although fossil wood is not a gemstone, it is loved by players because of its transformation.
In the process of geological development, when trees are buried in the ground, they turn into coal. In the case of favorable conditions, the fibers are soaked in substances such as soil and water, making the plant as hard as stone. Hardness of fossil wood is equal to agate.
Fossil wood can be used as fine art and jewelry such as tables, chairs, ornament, beads. Fossil wood is like natural stone, not raining and windy, weather causes spoilage and decay.
