Petrified Wood, which is also known as Fossilized Wood or Agatized Wood, forms when a tree has died and groundwater rich in dissolved minerals flows through the sediment, replacing the original plant material with silica, calcite, pyrite, opal, or quartz. The result is a fossil of the original woody material that often exhibits preserved details of the bark, wood, and cellular structures.
When Petrified Wood connects to your root and third eye chakras, you will experience an increased sense of awareness and determination. It's a great grounding stone to help bring thoughts and ideas down from the ethers to give that energy a form in physical reality. Petrified Wood may assist you in connecting to the Akashic Records, and are helpful to use for past life or ancestral healing or connection.
Many people like to use Petrified Wood to help connect with the energies of the Earth. Petrified Wood is a great way for city dwellers to keep the vibrations of nature in the concrete jungle. Meditation with Petrified Wood may take you back to connect with a time when your Spirit was cradled by Nature.
