Petrified fossils wood are tree fossils formed by exchanging the woody parts with SIO2 (silicon dioxide) in groundwater after branches and trees of at least hundreds of millions of years were quickly buried underground. Each piece is unique, with different patterns obtained through cross-cutting and vertical cutting. The large panels spliced this time can be cross-cut to obtain circular patterns, which can be used in interior design, background walls, entrances, desktops, etc.
Petrified wood and semi-precious stones refer to mineral fossils with a wooden structure, which have the characteristics and commercial value of precious stones at the same time. These wood fossils are gradually replaced by minerals through a long geological process.
Wood petrified semi-precious stones generally have the following characteristics:
Wood Structure: Petrified wood semi-precious stones still retain the texture and details of the original wood, such as growth rings, veins, pores, etc. This makes them very similar in appearance to real wood, giving them a natural and unique feel.
Mineral enrichment: During the formation of petrified wood and semi-precious stones, the organic matter in the wood is replaced by minerals, gradually forming a mineral-enriched structure. These minerals can include quartz, agate, tourmaline, etc., giving petrified wood semi-precious stones the characteristics and qualities of gemstones.
Hardness and Durability: Due to the substitution of minerals in petrified wood and semi-precious stones, they are relatively hard and resistant to certain pressure and wear. This makes them more durable for jewelry and crafts.
Rarity and Value: Petrified wood semi-precious stones are uncommon due to the specific geological conditions and lengthy time required to form them. Its rarity and uniqueness add a certain value and appeal to it, making it a valuable collectible and commercial gemstone.
In general, petrified wood semi-precious stones are mineral fossils with a wood structure, mineral enrichment, moderate hardness, and gem characteristics. Because of their unique beauty and value, they are loved and sought after in the field of jewelry and handicrafts.
