The ash and mineral-rich fluids that permeated the buried material helped preserve and mineralize the organic material, producing the distinctive blue-green, turquoise, cream, tan, and gray patterns seen in Larsonite today. Its dramatic flowing patterns can preserve the appearance of wood grain, vegetation, and other features of the ancient environment.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is an especially attractive specimen because \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eboth sides are clean-cut and visually appealing\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, offering two different views of the intricate patterning.
