Imagine to get lost in a prehistoric forest completely fossilized.Trunks are undamaged but there is no more sap running through them. There are crystals of precious minerals filling the skeletons of raw petrified bark. The wood becomes a stone through the silicization process. This allows the organic materials settled in the trunk of the tree to become minerals (mostly quartz and silicates). Petrification takes place underneath the ground, when the trees are covered by sediments which prevent the oxygen from reaching them. Rain water, which is rich in salts, penetrates and flows down through the forest, giving the petrified wood further colours and shades. The wood gets a different colour and charm according to the nature of the territory where the petrification takes place. The tree becomes a stone, while keeping the original structure of the bark and the wood, resulting in a precious product, which is a realmiracle of nature. Elements such as manganese, iron, copper and contaminated quartz crystals give the petrified wood a variety of tones.
