Petrified Wood Tree Stump

Petrified wood tree stumps contrast organic wood with the innate qualities of crystal. Petrified wood forms when wood is buried under sediment and the organic matter replaced by crystal, usually quartz. Different colours reveal the prescence of other crystals. Yellows, reds and browns are evidence of iron oxide in the specimen.

Whether for the marvel of wood preserved for millilons of year or its simple natural beauty, the forest shapes and textures of this petrified wood tree stump make a delightful ornament and a great gift.
