What Palm Root Fossil Is and How It Forms – your Palm Root Fossil Necklace This Natural Palm Root Fossil cabochon comes from Indonesia and was sourced from Pras at Oldes Stone, a trusted artisan supplier. The gemstone measures approximately and weighs around 28 carats. After receiving the cabochon, I drilled it by hand and added a Sterling Silver dendrite bail, pairing it with an 18″ Sterling Silver–filled chain to complete the piece. Palm Root Fossil forms when ancient palm trees undergo a long process of mineralisation. Over millions of years, silica‑rich groundwater replaces the organic material, preserving the original structure of the wood while transforming it into stone. As a result, the gemstone displays beautiful patterns that resemble the fibres and growth rings of the original palm. These natural markings make every piece completely unique. Most Palm Root Fossil comes from regions with volcanic activity, where mineral‑rich waters flow through buried plant material. Indonesia is especially known for producing high‑quality specimens.
