Petrified Tree – Guardian of the Soul

Petrified Tree – Protector of the Soul

Drum polished, size approximately 20mm.

Petrified wood is not literally wood that has been petrified, but is formed when the wood is quickly covered in fine-grained sediments. Water containing minerals carries away the organic matter of the wood, and little by little the wood is replaced by mineral matter. This phenomenon is called quartz pseudomorphosis of wood, and it is a very slow process. Only the external structure and shape of the wood are preserved. Petrified trees are true witnesses of the ages, helping us to understand the complexity of the Earth's history.
