History and Formation

Petrified Wood Jasper is not technically a jasper, but rather a type of fossilized wood. The process of petrification occurs when wood is buried by sediment and protected from decay by oxygen and organisms. Over time, the organic materials are replaced with minerals, primarily silica, while retaining the original wood structure.

This unique formation process can take millions of years, resulting in a stone that carries the energy of both the earth and ancient plant life. Each piece of Petrified Wood Jasper tells a story of the prehistoric forests that once covered our planet.
