The twisted beautiful hardness and demonstrated longevity of petrified wood has been treasured for centuries. Majestic trees standing in ages long ago where covered with volumes of water. As time progressed minerals slowly replaced the wooden bark, growth-circles and wood-grain leaving wonderful lasting representations of life from eons past. As an ancient relic, petrified wood brings a sense of appreciation for the less than obvious precious moments of one’s life, making mindful meditative presence possible resulting in a fuller and possibly longer lifetime.
