AZ PETRIFIED WOOD
“Rooted in the Spiritual Body Expressing in the Physical”
One of the most well-known fossils, petrified wood is a fascinating example of mineral replacement. Thick layers of sediments buried the wood from primeval forests. Over eons of time, tiny crystals of silica, in the form of agate, replaced each wood fiber. Often, minerals like iron oxide color the agate, producing a rainbow of hues such as this petrified wood found near Holbrook, AZ. Petrified Wood is the official State Fossil of Arizona. It is dated at least 180,000,000 years old. Petrified wood helps us be patient with life, allowing it to evolve with perfection. Works with the root & third eye chakras to bring healing to physical and emotional issue.
