Petrified Wood

Petrified wood is fossilized wood and, therefore, is thought of as a stone of transformation that helps one advance oneself, bringing patience to those in undergoing inner transformation and helping to bringing that change to fruition. In the short term, petrified wood assists in setting and maintaining the day’s pace. It promotes safe and secure feelings while calming survival-based fears. Physically and metaphorically, petrified wood strengthens one’s backbone. Physically it is also believed to be beneficial to the skeletal system, skin and hair.
