Petrified Wood Palm Stone
Hold a piece of ancient Earth in the palm of your hand with this beautifully polished Petrified Wood Palm Stone. Formed over millions of years, petrified wood begins as organic tree material that becomes buried under sediment. As groundwater rich in minerals flows through it, the wood’s cellular structure is slowly replaced by silica—often quartz, chalcedony, or opal—creating a fossilised stone that preserves the tree’s original grain in breath-taking detail.
Each palm stone carries warm, grounding tones—browns, tans, and subtle reds—showcasing the natural growth rings and textures of the ancient forest it once belonged to.
Spiritual & Energetic Significance
Known for its grounding energy, petrified wood is often associated with stability, patience, and emotional balance.
It is believed to help with past-life recall, ancient wisdom, and connecting to Earth’s long history.
A perfect companion for meditation, stress relief, or those seeking steadiness through transition.
Interesting Scientific Facts
Most petrified wood is over 20 million years old, with some specimens exceeding 200 million years, depending on their geological origin.
Despite its appearance, petrified wood is typically about 90–99% silica, making it chemically similar to quartz.
The unique colours—reds, yellows, blacks, and browns—come from trace minerals such as iron, manganese, and carbon.
Petrification preserves the original microscopic structure of the wood, allowing scientists to identify ancient tree species.
The process is so detailed that even tree rings, bark texture, and cellular patterns can remain intact.
