AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This extraordinary freeform made of fossilized wood with a fascinating agate quartz druzy is a true wonder of nature – a perfect fusion of organic history and mineral beauty.
Over millions of years, once-living wood transformed into stone through the process of fossilization. During this process, every grain and every structure of the original wood was preserved in quartz and agate – a snapshot from prehistoric times captured in crystalline form.
The warm, earthy tones of brown, amber, and cream blend here with the sparkling crystals of the embedded druse into a harmonious, almost mystical overall image. The agate veins add depth and movement to the surface, while the quartz crystals inside sparkle like tiny light reflections.
Energetically, this piece combines the power of grounding with the energy of change – symbolizing stability, growth, and transformation. Petrified wood strengthens the connection to nature and one's root energy, while agate and quartz promote clarity, calmness, and protection.
Whether as a collectible, a spiritual energy object, or a breathtaking decorative piece – this fossilized wood freeform is a one-of-a-kind item that impressively embodies time, history, and beauty. A true eye-catcher with soul and character.

It is a fossil wood dating back 200 million years, with all parts from a log or branches silicified, meaning that organic components were gradually replaced by silicon in the form of jasper, chalcedony, and more rarely opal. Without the organic parts, all the living matter was replaced by stone: there are growth rings, cell separations, almost like worm cracks.
Its features are those of the mineral that would have pseudo-transformed the wood: silicon.
And that's what we call 'petrified wood' in everyday language.
