{"product_id":"petrified-wood-worry-stones","title":"Petrified Wood Worry Stone - 2 inch","description":"\u003cp\u003ePetrified Wood Worry Stone cut to a broad oval with a thumb hollow across one face. Colour runs right across the range for this material, from near-black through amber, rust and pale cream, often within a single piece, and the original grain of the wood survives as parallel banding that follows the direction the tree grew. The polish is high and the grain reads clearly, close enough to timber that most people look twice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePetrified Wood is traditionally used for grounding and for a longer view of time, associations that come from what it actually is rather than from any colour or mineral property. It is commonly kept on a desk as a physical reminder of scale, held during meditation, or given to someone with an interest in fossils as much as in stones. Each piece carries its own sense of age and character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Properties\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nPrimary Focus: Protection \u0026amp; Grounding\u003cbr\u003e\nSecondary Focus: Balance \u0026amp; Harmony\u003cbr\u003e\nChakra Association: Root\u003cbr\u003e\nZodiac Sign: Leo, Capricorn\u003cbr\u003e\nChinese Zodiac: Tiger, Ox\u003cbr\u003e\nRuling Planet: Saturn\u003cbr\u003e\nElements: Earth\u003cbr\u003e\nMohs Hardness: 7\u003cbr\u003e\nStone Family: Sedimentary Rock\u003cbr\u003e\nMaterial: Petrified Wood\u003cbr\u003e\nOrigin: Madagascar\u003cbr\u003e\nForm: Worry Stone\u003cbr\u003e\nFinish: Polished\u003cbr\u003e\nApproximate Size: 50 mm (2 inches)\u003cbr\u003e\nApproximate Weight: 30-35 g\u003cbr\u003e\nListing: Single unit\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeological Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nPetrified Wood is silicified wood, a silicon dioxide pseudomorph at Mohs 7, formed when ancient timber is replaced by silica molecule by molecule while the original cellular structure is preserved intact. The process takes place over millions of years in silica-rich groundwater, and because the replacement is gradual enough to copy the wood cell by cell, growth rings, grain direction and even bark texture can survive into the finished stone. Colour comes from the trace elements present in the groundwater during replacement, producing browns, reds, greys, yellows and whites. The Arizona Petrified Forest holds trees from the Triassic period, roughly 225 million years old. The material is recognised across many cultures as a connection to deep time, and Native American traditions of the Southwest hold it as sacred material tied to ancestry. Commercial sources include Arizona in the USA, Madagascar, Indonesia, Argentina and Egypt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuturaSol Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nEach natural stone is selected for its authenticity, geological integrity, and energetic clarity. Natural variations in colour, structure, inclusions, and surface features are inherent to geological materials and contribute to the individuality of each piece.
