PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

Petrified Wood, also known as petrified tree, is the name given to a special type of fossilized wood, the fossilized remains of terrestrial vegetation with the mineral composition of jasper, chalcedony and, less frequently, opal; it consists of silicon dioxide only. Petrification occurs when wood or organic material is trapped inside sediment, where it is shielded from the elements including oxygen—which is essential to its aerobic decomposition. These mineral rich waters fill the sediment and deposits within the cells of organic life. The process can occur under a thousand years, but most petrified wood is millions of years old!

HISTORICAL USAGE

Ancient civilizations have been using the Amethyst gemstone since 25,000 BC. The Greeks, Romans and Egyptians all leveraged the deep healing powers the Amethyst gemstone provided.

"As a stone of transformation, petrified wood assists us to achieve our highest and best chosen level while feeling safe and secure."
