Multihued Petrified Wood Bowl

This Petrified Wood bowl from Madagascar is composed of a myriad of colors and reveals the striations and patterning of tree rings .Petrified Wood forms when fallen trees are washed down a river and buried under layers of mud, ash from volcanoes and other materials. Over millions of years, these minerals crystallize within the cellular structure of the wood forming the stone-like petrified wood.  Petrified Wood is a stone of transformation providing a feeling of security and safety thereby calming fears.
