Description

In the Tertiary Period, vast rainforests blanketed the many
islands of Indonesia. Erupting volcanoes buried these forests in
deep ash and lava, killing off microbes that would have rotted the
wood. Over eons of time, surrounding minerals leached into the
wood, leaving much of the grain patterning intact – a remarkable
record of ancient life on Earth! The many colours come from
minerals, such as agate, chalcedony and opal. Consider with
wonder that you are looking at the remains of a tree that once
provided food and shelter for the dinosaurs, 200 million years
ago! Petrified Wood is said to be a powerful stone for removing
obstacles, smoothing the path for success in one’s endeavours. We
carry Petrified wood from all over the world, mainly, U.S.A
(Arizona, Oregon, Washington), Madagascar, and Indonesia. Species
include Oak, Sequoia and Sycamore.
