Petrified Wood Polished Stone Slab Saddle Mountain Washington
This is a gorgeous polished stone slab of Petrified Wood from Saddle Mountain, Washington.
The natural Petrified Wood slab is 3.7 inches and by 3 inches wide and 5 mm thick. It is not a full round.
It was found in the Columbia River Basalt Formation. Saddle Mountain is known for its "picture wood", showing beautiful colors, dendritic patterns, and metallic iron inclusions.
From the Miocene epoch of the Cenozoic era, 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.
