This beautiful Petrified Agatized Limb Cast is from Apache County, Arizona, not far from the famous Petrified Wood National Park. (It did not come from the park, itself, as gathering specimen is illegal in order to preserve the park's history and beauty.)

It is about 2.25" x 2" and so detailed that to look at it, you hardly realize you're holding a piece of wood that lived over 200 million years ago!
If you hold it under a light, you'll even spy some sparkles caused by a fine layer of quartz druzy!

History | Science

Over 200 million years ago, this limb was washed away by an ancient river and then buried in sediment containing volcanic ash. This formed a hard cast around the branch, and once the organic material decayed, the cast was filled with minerals, allowing the insides to turn to agate. The cast left behind was so highly detailed that from the outside, you can barely tell it's actually petrified! It is truly a work of art made by nature!

Metaphysical Properties

Petrified wood has a soothing and calm energy that helps firmly root us in reality. It teaches patience and wisdom in transformation, bringing peace and serenity.
Even moreso than other fossils, Petrified Wood is a source of patient wisdom, as well. Trees have a longer lifespan than other living creatures, gathering rings every year. Between the rings of petrified wood, you can find all the wisdom of a long life as well as that of the thousands to millions of transformative years becoming the stone it is today.

Photography

Although we always strive to provide clear, accurate images of our crystals and other products, we photograph under professional lighting, which is meant to mimic sunlight. If you get your crystal and think it looks a little different under low or artificial light, try checking it out again in sunlight!

Our crystals are one-of-a-kind art, created by nature.

No two pieces are the same, and there is no such thing as "perfection" in nature.

When it comes to our hand-carved items, remember that artists work with and around imperfections, druzy pockets, and other natural variations to bring each carving out of a piece of natural stone.

We consider these imperfections to be one of the most wonderful parts of crystal collecting, and we invite you to embrace each carving's uniqueness!

We will always try to portray each piece honestly, so be sure to look closely at our images and videos to ensure you know what to expect.
