Large Victorian 9ct Gold Brooch set with Fossilised Wood

360U
160 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

An impressive brooch that was made circa 1860. It has been set with a large hard stone that is fossilised or petrified wood. Petrified wood is very rare and only a small proportion can be cut and polished into specimens.  As a result, it became prized by collectors who truly appreciated its magnificence.  This example is like looking in to a moonlit scene.  The mount is ornate with engraved leaves and flowers.
