Pietrified wood, also known as silicified wood or Fossilized Wood, is a stone born of geological patience and the silent cycles of the Earth. It is formed when the trunks of ancient trees are quickly buried under volcanic sediments or mineral-rich sludge, lacking oxygen. In this environment, the process of petrification It takes place slowly - the organic molecules of the wood are gradually replaced with silica (mainly quartz), but the original texture and structure of the wood fiber are miraculously preserved.

Over time, the colors of petrified wood develop due to mineral impurities: iron adds reddish or orange, manganese brings black and purple tones, and copper can introduce green or blue accents.
