Read our Sourcing Standards →Petrified wood is wood that turned to stone over millions of years as silica replaced the original cellular structure. Good pieces still show the growth rings, the grain, the knots. Every piece is a record of a tree that lived a long time ago. Petrified Wood is associated with grounding, ancient wisdom, and patience.
Sourced directly from Boeny, Madagascar.
In the tradition, petrified wood shows up most often around staying connected to your body and the moment, a sense of groundedness when things feel uncertain, and gentle, patient care for yourself. It's traditionally linked to the root chakra. If that resonates, set one on the floor near where you sit to read or work. Trust what feels useful and leave the rest.
These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.
