Petrified Wood Freeform

Petrified wood is a type of fossil formed when plant material is buried in sediment, typically volcanic ash, and saturated with mineral-rich water. Over millions of years, silica, calcite, or quartz replaces organic matter, preserving the original cellular structure, growth rings, and bark. It is found worldwide in colours caused by trace elements like iron, manganese, and copper.

Petrified Wood is a stone of spiritual transformation. It gives one the ability to translate spiritual insights into real changes in their physical life.
It promotes emotional healing linked to difficult relationships, especially those of ancestral origin. It instills strength of character and encourages one to live life on their own terms. Petrified Wood teaches one to remain calm and patient, and not be too critical of themselves and others.
