Each Petrified Wood Palm Stone reveals a different cross-section of ancient wood grain, polished to an even sheen with a solid, reassuring weight against the palm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePetrified Wood is traditionally associated with grounding and patience, along with a sense of connection to ancestry and deep time, valued as a steadying, earthy stone. A Palm Stone is a favoured form for holding and working with the stone, sized to rest against the fingers during reflection, meditation, or moments that call for a grounding anchor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Properties\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrimary Focus: Protection \u0026amp; Grounding\u003cbr\u003eSecondary Focus: Balance \u0026amp; Harmony\u003cbr\u003eChakra Association: Root\u003cbr\u003eZodiac Sign: Leo, Capricorn\u003cbr\u003eChinese Zodiac: Tiger, Ox\u003cbr\u003eRuling Planet: Saturn\u003cbr\u003eElements: Earth\u003cbr\u003eMohs Hardness: 7\u003cbr\u003eStone Family: Sedimentary Rock\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: Petrified Wood\u003cbr\u003eForm: Palm Stone\u003cbr\u003eFinish: Polished\u003cbr\u003eApproximate Size: 64-76 mm (2.5-3.0 inches)\u003cbr\u003eApproximate Weight: 95-110 g\u003cbr\u003eListing: Single unit\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeological Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePetrified Wood forms when ancient wood is gradually replaced by silica, molecule by molecule, while the original cellular structure is preserved, producing a silicon dioxide pseudomorph (Mohs 7) that retains the grain of the wood in brown, red, grey, yellow and white. The process takes place over millions of years in silica-rich groundwater; the Arizona Petrified Forest contains trees from the Triassic period, roughly 225 million years old. It has been valued across many cultures as a link to ancient time, and is held as sacred ancestral material in the Native American traditions of the Southwest. Principal sources include the USA, particularly Arizona, along with Madagascar, Indonesia, Argentina and Egypt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuturaSol Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach natural stone is selected for its authenticity, geological integrity, and energetic clarity.
