This is petrified wood from Arizona, currently available for sale. Petrified wood refers to ancient trees that, after being buried under sediment or volcanic ash, have fossilized over long periods of time. Petrified wood from Arizona is particularly known for its high quality.
Petrified wood, naturally, pairs excellently with plants. It's easy to incorporate into your home or office, making it a perfect choice for those new to fossils.
The Process of Petrification
Burial
The tree falls and is buried in soil or volcanic ash.
Mineral Replacement
Before the tree's cells decompose, groundwater flows in, and the minerals in the water, such as silica (quartz), replace the tree's cellular structure.
Hardening and Crystallization
Over many years, the tree retains its shape, but its interior is completely replaced by minerals, becoming as hard as stone.
At our store, we offer an original logo-engraved stand designed to display the petrified wood at the most beautiful and attractive angles and height.
Additionally, we recommend using it for everyday purposes, such as a jewelry or accessory tray.

Triassic Period
The Triassic Period (about 251 million to 210 million years ago) saw the emergence of early dinosaurs and mammals, laying the foundation for later ecosystems. Cycads, ginkgoes, and other gymnosperms flourished, promoting the diversification of terrestrial ecosystems. In the oceans, ammonites and plesiosaurs thrived, fish species diversified, and marine ecosystems expanded.
