Petrified Palm Wood Polished Slab Rock California
This lovely piece of Petrified Palm Wood is slabbed and polished on one face.
It is 5.4 inches long by 3 inches wide and just 4 mm thick.
This is lovely Petrified Palm Wood, or Palmoxylon, from the Calico Mountains of California, and it is from the early to middle Miocene epoch, (19.3 - 13.4 million years ago) in age, in the Neogene Period.
Petrified Wood is wood that has fossilized; a tree died and was buried by sediments, minerals in the groundwater then permeated the wood replacing it, and making a stone-like replica of the original wood.
The Calico Mountains of California are a mountain range located in the Mojave Desert. The range spans San Bernardino and Inyo counties in California. This piece came from on old collection, collecting in this area is now illegal.
Metaphysical Properties: Petrified Palm Wood is said to remove petty annoyances and enhance one's connection to earth and nature. It is considered a stone of patience.
