Product Description
Petrified Wood Polished Rock 5 inch Round Nevada
This a gorgeous polished slab full round of Petrified Wood from Nevada that is 5 inches by 4.4 inches wide and .34 of an inch thick.
This petrified wood piece is from the Kirkby collection and was self-collected sometime in the 1930's to the 1960's.
It is from the Miocene epoch about 15 million years old.
The Petrified Wood formed when the tree died and was buried by sediments. Minerals in the groundwater then permeated the wood, replacing the original organic matter and turning it to stone. The main mineral is silica, but trace elements in the silica create a variety of colors.
Metaphysical Properties: Petrified Wood is a stone of patience and slow and steady growth.
