Petrified Wood

Petrified Wood is a crystal of grounding, patience, and ancestral wisdom—a sacred relic of Earth’s memory, formed over millions of years through the alchemy of time and transformation.

Once living trees, these ancient beings have turned to stone through a slow process of mineralization, preserving their structure while embodying the stillness of deep time.

Petrified Wood doesn’t just ground you—it reminds you that growth can be slow, steady, and sacred. Whether placed in your space, used in meditation, or carried as a talisman, it offers stability, perspective, and a profound connection to the natural world.
