This specimen is between 190 and 210 million years old, from central Oregon. What's really cool about this specimen is that it looks like a part of a tree even after all this time. It's rings are extremely visible where different minerals replaced the organic material. Absolutely wonderful. Weighs just under 3 pounds, is about 5 inches wide, by about 6 1/2 inches tall and slopes to a narrower edge at the top. Cut in a wedge to stand up with a special mounting.
Metaphysical Properties:
Petrified wood is a stone that is good for grounding and stabilizing one's emotions. It is particularly useful in calming survival-based fears. It helps one be practical. It is a stone of business success. Petrified wood is a good stone for general protection. Physically, it is beneficial physically for the bones, backaches, skin and hair. Petrified wood is also used for past life regressions because of its inherent link with the past.
Because these properties spring mainly from "lore" and "faith" I can not guarantee the level of effectiveness. They may be strong or they may be very subtle. Either way I think they are lovely and pray they will bring you optimism, happiness and comfort.
