The energy of this stone is deeply strengthening, grounding & stabilizing, allowing for the removal of stress, worry and anxiety. Chakras: Root, Sacral Chakra Petrified wood (from the Latin root petro meaning "rock" or "stone"; literally "wood turned into stone") is the name given to a special type of fossilized remains of terrestrial vegetation. It is the result of a tree or tree-like plants having completely transitioned to stone by the process of permineralization. All the organic materials of the tree have been replaced with silicate minerals, usually a quartz, while maintaining the wood’s original structure. Unlike other kinds of fossils that are compressions or impressions, Petrified Wood is a three-dimensional representation of the original organic material. The petrifaction process happens underground, when wood starts to get covered by sediments. It’s preserved at first due to lack of oxygen. Mineral-rich water that’s flowing through the sediments deposits minerals in the tree’s cells. As the tree’s lignin and cellulose start to decay, a stone mold also begins to form! Wood takes approximately a hundred years to petrify. Organic material needs to become petrified first before it completely decomposes.
 
Rough Minerals
Natural Energy:
Rough crystals are essentially unpolished stones in their natural state. This means they haven't been altered by human intervention, and some believe they hold a more substantial, more potent energy than tumbled or polished crystals.
Gradual Release of Energy:
The uneven surface of a rough crystal creates more surface area for energy to interact with. This might lead to a slower, more gradual release of the crystal's power, potentially making integrating its properties into your life easier.
Access to Raw Potential:
Some believe rough crystals offer a connection to the earth's raw, unrefined energy. This can appeal to those seeking a more grounded and natural energy source.
Variety and Uniqueness:
Rough crystals come in various shapes and sizes, each with unique characteristics. This allows for a more personalized selection based on what resonates most with you.
Aesthetics and Natural Beauty:
Many find rough crystals beautiful naturally, appreciating the intricate formations and colors. They can add a touch of nature and rawness to your home or workspace.
Additional Considerations:
Comfort and Handling: Rough crystals can have sharp edges or points, making them less comfortable to hold or wear than tumbled stones.
Versatility: Rough crystals may not be suitable for all applications. Due to their uneven shape, they might not be ideal for making jewelry or using them in tight spaces.
Benefits Shared with Tumbled Stones:
Rough crystals share many metaphysical properties associated with tumbled or polished stones of the same type. For instance, a rose quartz crystal, whether rough or polished, is believed to promote love and compassion.
Choosing a Rough Crystal:
Select a crystal that resonates with you visually and intuitively.
Consider your purpose. A tumbled stone might be better if you want a fast-acting crystal for immediate focus. Rough could be ideal for a slower, more gradual energy release.
Ultimately, the decision of rough vs. tumbled comes down to personal preference and what feels most comfortable and practical for you.
 
Please note: The price is per one piece, intuitively picked for you. Due to the nature of crystals, they may vary slightly in shape, size, color, and pattern. This is all due to the location and variation of the stones available. All crystals are reiki-charged and cleansed with love light and Sea Salt or Sand
