It is about 3" in diameter, and weighs 665 grams, or 1 lb, 7 ounces. It has a wonderfully smooth feel to it, except a few natural flaws from the stone. It is shown on a small round sphere stand in some of the photos, but the stand is not included.

The piece in the main photo and the others in the slide show are spheres which have been cut and polished from a fossilized tree, alive during the Triassic Period.

The size you would receive is about 1 7/8" with a weight of over 5 ounces (140 grams). No two pieces are exactly alike; each one is unique. There are only a couple left for this year.

This is a another sphere made from Travertine (Mojave Desert). It is a larger one, just a quarter inch less than 4" in diameter. It weighs 2 lbs, 13.5 ounces. 'Travertine' is often seen as a material used in making countertops, but it is also popular by lapidary artists for various types of polished stones. In natural lighting the color is closer to how it looks in the photos on light background, but when moved under direct light or sunlight, the colors become more apparent. There are some natural flaws in it as visible in the photos.
