Triangular shaped bookend cut from a piece of polished petrified wood. The inner ends have been cut to meet at a right angle while the outside edge was left with a natural contour. The inner edges are lined with green felt which acts as a rest. There are rings of blue present and the red tones would suggest this possibly originated from Arizona.
Identified by Felix Scardapane (interpreter). Thought to be from a Geode.
