History & Origin:

Petrified Wood is a type of fossil, formed from the remnants of ancient trees. In a process that takes many years, these wooden branches or trunks are replaced by minerals such as Agate, Chalcedony/Quartz, or even Opal.

Metaphysical Properties:

Holding the energy of the past within its form, this fascinating stone can connect you to your roots, home, history & ancestry, as well as assist in healing generational or family trauma. Linked to the Root & Third Eye Chakras, its grounding vibration can help you stay intuitively connected to Earth & nature, & can fill you with feelings of security, stability & balance. This is one of the best crystals to work with when recalling past-life experiences & can also assist in reading Akashic Records. Petrified Wood is deeply insightful yet calming, as it encourages you to release stress, fears & worries about the past. If you are feeling stuck or held back, this stone can help you to move forward. It brings patience, transformation, ancient knowledge & allows you to evolve & let go of petty issues or unsupportive people in your life. 

How to use:

If you feel disconnected or live away from nature, keep one within your home to bring growth & Earth energy into your space. Hold when meditating to bring past life recall, wisdom & inspire healing. Carry with you to release stress, impatience, immobility & worries about the past.
