Petrified wood is fossilized remains of ancient trees where organic material has been replaced by minerals, primarily silica, over millions of years. This process preserves the original structure of the wood, often down to the microscopic level. Known for its striking, stone-like appearance, petrified wood is valued both as a decorative element and a collector’s item. Its properties include exceptional hardness, durability, and natural beauty, with a blend of earthy tones and unique patterns formed during mineralization.
