It most commonly occurs with jasper or chalcedony. Petrified wood occurs after a tree has turned completely into stone by the process of permineralization, a process that takes over 100 years. Metaphysical Properties: Petrified wood is associated with patience and slow, steady growth.
Because gemstones are natural materials, appearances may vary from piece to piece. Each strand includes approximately 25 beads.
