The tops are polished and the bottom is left raw or natural. Petrified wood is formed over hundreds of years when trees have fallen and decay, water and minerals in the sediment transform it. The wood is replaced by silicon dioxide. This is known as a pseudomorph of chalcedony after wood. It is also known as fossilized wood or agatized wood and is actually a member of the quartz family. Its properties represent the strength of the tree that once stood tall while firmly rooted in Mother Earth as well as the slow, steady transformation it under went as it. Which we can apply to our spiritual growth. Its name is from the Greek root petro, meaning rock or stone; though officially I do not think it is considered a stone. It is perfect for working with wood and earth energies and if you are partial to fairies…well, there you go. I feel very connected to the Earth and am reminded that all is as it should be when I work with petrified wood. Lovely to have in your home to connect you to nature!
