Our Products
Petrified Wood is a fossil in which the organic remains have been replaced by minerals in the slow process of turning to stone. This petrification process generally results in a Quartz Chalcedony mineralization. Special rare conditions must be met in order for the fallen wood to be transformed into precious Fossil Wood or Petrified Wood. In general, the fallen trees get buried in an environment free of oxygen ( an anaerobic environment), which preserves the original tree structure and general appearance.
The other conditions include a regular access
to mineral rich water flowing through the wood, replacing the organic tree
structure with inorganic stone. This process could occur in less than one
thousand years. Exotic minerals allow the rare red and green hues that can be
seen in more rare specimens.
All our Petrified Wood Slices are from Madagascar.
We have learned some of their techniques from the help of Bill Rose, a famous
American petrified wood processor.
