Whether you are a professional or a private individual, choose fossilized wood - MCBF01Description of fossilized wood in lithotherapyAlso known as petrified wood or silicified wood, fossilized wood originated about 225 million years ago. Studied in geology, but also in paleobotany, petrified wood is a rather peculiar stone. Indeed, through its fossilization, organic matter has been more or less replaced by mineral matter. Its composition is not homogeneous and depends on the minerals present in the water during its petrification (quartz, silicate, etc.). Depending on the porosity of the wood and the chemical components present, fossil wood will have different colors and patterns. Its colors generally range from brown to beige with shades of purple, but you can also find splinters of green, pink or purple. A mineral recognized as an anchoring stone, petrified wood allows you to reconnect with the surrounding world.
