Indonesia, a treasure trove of natural wonders, stands out as a prominent hub for petrified wood mining. This unique process, unfolding across the vast Indonesian archipelago, reveals not just the beauty of petrified wood but also its significance in both geological and cultural contexts.

Vast Locations Across the Archipelago The journey begins in the lush landscapes of Indonesia, where petrified wood is found in abundance. Key locations include:

  • West Java: Discoveries in areas like Ciampea, Jasinga, Leuwiliang, Banten, Sukabumi, and Tasikmalaya.
  • Central Java: Notable finds in Banjarnegara and the Sragen-Karanganyar region.
  • East Java: The scenic Pacitan area.
  • Other Rich Sites: Including Kalimantan, Jambi, Flores, and the intriguing findings in Labanan KHDTK, Berau, East Kalimantan.

Cultural Significance and Recent Discoveries In the heart of Central Sumba lies Laitarung village, where petrified wood is not just a mineral but a cultural keystone, linking people to their land and traditions. These discoveries, like those documented by researchers (Njurumana, 2013), highlight the intertwining of nature and culture in Indonesia.

Our Commitment to Sustainable Mining Our mining operations are deeply rooted in sustainability and respect for the land. We source exclusively from our own mining locations, primarily focused in Sumatra, Banten, and West Java. This approach ensures not only the highest quality of petrified wood but also adherence to ethical and environmental standards.

Conclusion Indonesia’s petrified wood is more than a mineral; it’s a story of time, nature, and culture. Our dedication to responsible mining allows us to bring this story to the world, sharing a piece of Indonesia’s geological heritage.
