Petrified Wood

Grounding - Transitions - Transformation

Petrified wood comes from the Greek word “petro” meaning rock or wood fossilized into stone. It is an ancient tree fossil that occurs when a tree has fallen and become buried to where the tree was not exposed to oxygen. All of the tree matter eventually forms into minerals due to the minerals from nearby water sources or rainfall such as iron oxide and manganese dioxide.

Arizona petrified wood is often referred to as “Rainbow wood” because of its vibrant red, orange, yellow, and purple hues. This kind of petrified wood can be found in Arizona in the petrified forest. It is mostly silica-based, making it possible to find bits of quartz crystal in the fossil.

It is said that this stone can be read like a book with each ring representing a page of the Akashic Records. It is known to help heal family history, heal past lives, and can bring stability during the transition, earning it the nickname “The Stone of Transformation”. It can also ground and give a sense of safety and security. Reveals soul-gifts at the heart and supports during spiritual evolution.
