Fossilized wood, also called petrified wood, is ancient wood which has been replaced and hardened by another mineral. The two minerals usually involved in the displacement activities are agate and quartz.

Fossilized wood provides strength in the back as well as alignment to the skeletal structure of the body. It can aid in the treatment of hearing loss and incontinence. It also provides support to one who is coming through the crisis period of a disease; it provides insight into why the suffering has occurred.

It is also a crystal of “transformation” – assisting one to advance to ones highest chosen level, to commence ascension to a higher aspect of the self, and to recognize that no action unnecessary – but that all actions bring one to ones ultimate purpose.

An elixir, applied topically, can be used to soothe the skin and to stimulate thickness and luster in the hair.
