Description: These petrified woods have been river worn so they are rounded and smooth. They lack the polish that a machine tumbler would give them, but have a natural palm stone shape caused by nature.

Petrified wood is a type of fossil formed when plant material, typically wood, is buried under sediment and then subjected to heat and pressure over millions of years. During this process, the organic material is replaced by minerals, usually silica, which crystallize and preserve the original structure of the wood. The result is a beautiful, often colorful stone that retains the grain and texture of the original wood.

Petrified wood from the Belvedere Claim Wood area in Sweetholme, Oregon, is known for its rich colors and intricate patterns. This region is part of the larger landscape of the Pacific Northwest, where ancient forests once thrived. Belvedere Claim Wood is particularly valued by collectors and artisans for its detailed preservation of the wood's grain and structure.
