"Petrified wood is fossilized wood with the mineral composition of jasper, chalcedony, and less frequently, opal. It consists of silicon dioxide only. The wood has not actually become stone as is usually understood by the layman. The organic wood is not changed into stone but only the shape and structural elements of the wood are preserved. The expert speaks of a pseudomorphosis of chalcedony (or jasper or opal) after wood. Well preserved petrification occurs only where trees after their death are quickly covered with fine-grained sedimentary rock. Thus the outer structure of the wood is preserved in a negative form within the enclosing rock. Circulating waters loosen and decompose the organic substances and replace them with mineral substances. Therefore, it is not a change which takes place but rather an exchange. Sometimes this process is successive (from removal and adding of substances) so that the inner structural elements of the wood, the annual rings, the structure of the cells, even wormholes, are preserved. It can also happen that the appearance is totally changed by the crystallization process. The colors are mostly dull gray or brown, sometimes
also pink, red, light brown, yellow and even blue to violet. The colors
become stronger with cutting and polishing." Metaphysical Attributes
Petrified wood is a stone that is good for grounding and stabilizing one's emotions. It is particularly useful in calming survival-based fears. It helps one be practical. It is a stone of business success. Petrified wood is a good stone for general protection. Physically, it is beneficial for the bones, backaches, skin and hair. Petrified wood is also used for past life regressions because of its inherent link with the past. |
