"Tree Jade" Petrified Wood Specimen

Like scholars' rocks, petrified, or fossilized, wood is appreciated for its natural beauty. Sometimes called "Tree Jade," petrified wood is thought to bring peace and prosperity to its surroundings. Each specimen has its own unique patterns of fossilized moss, bark, and the rich charismatic kind of scars that come together only after thousands of years. These facets bring to mind a fascinating combination of organic mortality and preserved permanence. In its raw, unworked state, a petrified wood specimen is fantastic as an everlasting log in a fire place, as a home for succulents, or as a sculptural spot to sit.
