Stone: A+ Extraordinary Quartz Hand Polished Bowl of Petrified Wood
Weight: 2459. 08g
Size: 210x205x45mm
Treatment: None
Origin: Madagascar
It is a fossil wood dating back 200 million years, all parts from a log or branches have been silicified, meaning that organic components were little by little replaced by silicon in the form of jasper, chalcedony and more rarely opal. Without the organic parts, all the living matter was replaced by stone: there are growth rings, cell separations, almost like worm cracks.
Its features are those of the mineral that would have pseudo-transformed the wood: the silicon.
And that’s what we call a “petrified wood” in the common language.
The lots were photographed under professional lights. Please note that the colors might differ depending on the monitor settings and light source.
The disclaimer about the healing properties
as previously given:
It is believed that certain gemstones and minerals have beneficial health and spiritual properties.
