Product Description
Petrified Conifer Wood Polished Stone Rock
This Petrified Conifer Wood piece is slabbed and polished on one face, natural rough on the back and edges.
It is from Southeastern Oregon and it is 6.6 inches by 5.5 inches and .23 inch thick.
The area, perhaps inappropriately, is known as Negro Rock which is located roughly 25 miles south of Vale and 30 miles southeast of Nyssa. This site is a remote high desert destination northwest of Owyhee Reservoir in Southeastern Oregon. The slopes around this hill are mainly known for their high-quality petrified wood, which varies in color and preservation quality. Other minerals can also be found in this area.
The conifer wood, which typically has well-preserved cellular structures, appears in shades of beige, brown, orange, gray, and black.
This gemstone is the fossilized wood of trees. The Petrified Wood formed when a 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.
