Nature’s Art: Exquisite Petrified Wood Jewelry

 Petrified wood, which is also known as a petrified tree, is derived from an ancient Greek word meaning ‘rock’ or ‘stone.’ The literal meaning of petrified wood is, ‘wood turned into stone.’ Petrified wood is a type of fossilized wood with the fossilized remains of terrestrial vegetation. Petrified wood crystal is an organic material created when minerals replace the original wood tissue over time. This mineral replacement process of Petrified wood happens when Adam’s ale flows through cracks inside rocks, thus depositing mineral crystals on the surface of the wood. Due to this, tree knots, rings, and other features are preserved while the organic matter decays away. It must be noted that Petrified Wood Jewelry is a category of fossil. And the original plant material is replaced with calcite, silica, pyrite, or other inorganic materials like opal when water rich in these dissolved materials flows through the sediment at the place where the plant material is buried.
