Petrified wood, the stone for transformation

How is petrified wood created?

Petrified wood or fossil wood, is a stone created from trees that ended up under thick layers of volcanic ash. The ash contains all kinds of minerals, which slowly dissolve in the groundwater. Because the trees are no longer in contact with oxygen, the wood does not rot as quickly as normal. In the meantime, the groundwater soaks the tree with minerals where they deposit in the wood cells. Slowly but surely, the wood decays and the minerals take the place of the wood cells. This happens very slowly so the structure of the wood is perfectly preserved in the minerals.

Transformation stone

Petrified wood is the stone of transformation. It helps to grow through to the highest level. It gives a sense of safety and security, and calms fears based on survival. Petrified wood helps to set a pace and maintain that pace throughout the day. It helps to be patient with others who are in an inner transformation process and to realise this transformation in yourself.
