Petrified Wood is an ancient wood that has been turned into stone while keeping the original structure of the wood maintained. Wood turning into stone is a natural process referred to as permineralization, and Petrified Wood is considered a fossil. During this process, many organic components of the wood are replaced with various elements - such as quartz or other silicate minerals. However, it is quite different from other types of fossils because it maintains the 3-D representation of the original material that has been replaced (wood). This preservation process typically occurs underground as the wood gets covered with different organic materials. This process is possible due to the lack of oxygen, and as mineral water flows around the covered wood, some minerals will be left inside the wood cells. In order for wood to petrify, the process requires optimal conditions, as well as about 100+ years and the organic material MUST petrify before it decomposes. The unique thing about this fossil is that it can actually show up in many different colors, depending on what the wood is exposed to. Manganese, Iron and Copper are just a few of the most common minerals out there, showing that the colors can widely vary from piece to piece. Petrified Wood holds an abundance of ancient earthen energy contained within, allowing for a practitioner to channel and direct this Elestial energy. This stone can connect you deeper into Mother Earth, helping you to keep calm, grounded and centered. Because of its history, it can assist in healing Ancestral/Generational Traumas as well as familial patterns that you don’t even realize you carry. This crystal reaches deep into the depths of your soul, reminding you of your innate power and connecting you with past/parallel lives. It has a very nurturing and healing energy which makes it a wonderful stone for root chakra healing. Imbalances in the root chakra can lead to feeling spaced out, disconnected, or feeling insecure around safety or basic needs. This stone can enhance patience, support meditation, perseverance, and spiritual transformation. Just as the original wood was transformed to stone, so too can the energy help you transform spiritually, assisting in creating necessary change on the path to Ascension.
