Product Description
Petrified Wood Polished Rock Nevada
This a gorgeous thick polished slab, almost a full round, of Petrified Wood from Nevada and it is 6.5 inches by 3.8 inches wide and 1 inch thick.
Some "bark" is missing on the little wing on its right side and there is a white fill. Labeled "NEV" on the back.
This is from an old collection, self-collected in the40's-70'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.
