Petrified Wood Slice
A truly extraordinary piece of natural history — a polished Petrified Wood slice, weighing 331g and measuring 128mm x 115mm. Every detail of the original tree has been perfectly preserved in stone: the growth rings, the grain, the natural cracks and fissures, even a tiny sparkling quartz crystal pocket at the centre where silica-rich water once flowed through the wood millions of years ago. This is a piece of ancient forest, frozen in time.
Petrified Wood forms when a fallen tree is buried under sediment and, over millions of years, the organic material is slowly replaced molecule by molecule with minerals — most commonly quartz or chalcedony — until the wood becomes stone while retaining its original structure in extraordinary detail. This piece is estimated to be between 50 and 200 million years old. Display it on its included acrylic stand as a stunning centrepiece, a conversation starter, or a connection to the deep, ancient time of the earth. Said to carry deeply grounding, stabilising energy — the wisdom of ancient trees.
