Petrified Wood Slab #58

Petrified wood acts as a "stone of transformation," symbolizing stability, grounding, and the merging of ancient, earthly wisdom with modern, personal growth.

Hardness: 6.5–7 Mohs
Origin: iron, manganese
Petrified wood is a fossil formed when plant material is buried in sediment, typically volcanic ash, and protected from decay in oxygen-poor environments. Over thousands to millions of years, groundwater rich in silica (quartz), calcite, or iron replaces the organic wood tissues with minerals, preserving its cellular structure

Petrified wood is durable but porous, requiring gentle care to avoid scratches and staining. Clean with mild soap, lukewarm water, and a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals, acidic cleaners, and abrasive brushes. For longevity, keep it out of direct sunlight to prevent fading and store with padding
