Petrified wood is also known as fossilised wood. It is formed when a tree or tree-like plant changes to stone by the process of permineralization.

It is gently grounding and offers stability. It is a stone of patience and a slow steady growth toward the goal of spiritual awareness. It is an ideal stone for new beginnings and to help when adapting to change.

Petrified wood is good for gradually strengthening the body and increasing vitality. It can be beneficial for someone who needs greater stability in the skeletal structure.

Petrified wood has a connection to ancestors & ancestral wisdom of the whole world & creation (not just people). It reminds me that we are all one through our connection to all.
