Petrified Wood
Enduring foundations, patience
What is Petrified Wood?
Petrified wood is ancient timber replaced cell-by-cell by silica over millions of years — stone that still shows growth rings from forests older than the dinosaurs' last days.
Meaning & symbolism
It symbolizes deep time and patience: foundations laid slowly outlast everything. A grounding stone with a fossil's perspective.
How to wear & pair it
Warm browns with visible rings pair beautifully with smoky quartz and wood beads in earth stacks.
Care
Fully silicified — durable; standard care.
