Question 1

How old is the Petrified Wood I receive?

Accepted Answer

Moroccan Petrified Wood stones are generally tens of millions – in some cases hundreds of millions of years old. The exact age depends on the deposit and geological layer. Precise age data is not available for individual pieces, but each is a genuine prehistoric mineral.

Question 2

Are traces of the wood's original tissue structure visible on the stone?

Accepted Answer

Yes, on petrified wood – especially on a polished surface – elements of the original wood tissue structure are clearly visible: wood fibre directions, traces of annual rings and the veining formed during mineralisation. This is what makes the stone particularly interesting.

Question 3

Why is this Petrified Wood black and how does it differ from other colour varieties?

Accepted Answer

The black or dark shade of Petrified Wood is primarily due to high carbon content that was present in the wood before decomposition. Other varieties develop red, yellow or brown colours due to iron oxide content. Each variety is genuine petrified wood; only the materials present during mineralisation differ.
