Petrified Wood Spiritual Properties: Stone of Wisdom

Shannon Marie

Petrified Wood (Root Chakra) (Zodiac of Leo)

Petrified Wood is a fascinating stone that began its existence as something else entirely. These fossilized wood pieces come in a wide array of colors and designs and can used just like stones. I have even tumbled and polished Petrified Wood just like any other stone and it turns out beautifully! These gorgeous pieces are a stunning addition to a crystal collection. Find out the Petrified Wood spiritual properties and how you can benefit from their supportive and healing blessings!

The Science of Petrified Wood

Petrified Wood didn’t start out as a stone, but slowly transformed over time into a fossil. When wood is quickly buried and remains for thousands of years, the plant matter is slowly saturated with silica which transform the cells into quartz, agate, or chalcedony. This process creates a perfect replica of the original piece of wood (rings, wood grain, and knots). When looking at petrified wood, you can clearly see its origins as a tree.

Historical Significance of Petrified Wood

Petrified Wood dates back millions of years. Ancient cultures have revered Earth’s creation. Native American tribes have used Petrified wood in ceremonies, burials, and spiritual jewelry. Tribes in Arizona used to use this stone to create dwellings as it is plentiful in that State. In fact, the Dine (Navajo) tribe tells stories of Petrified Wood being the bones on an ancient giant monster, Yeitso, who almost caused the end of the World. Ancient Egyptians used to use Petrified wood in funereal rites.

Metaphysical Attributes of Petrified Wood

Petrified Wood helps to reduce worrying. This is a stone that is deeply connected to the energy of the Earth, so holding a piece of Petrified Wood is holding Ancient Earth energy. It exudes an energy that is calm, still and deeply grounded. It helps us release worries about the “small things” and those things we cannot change. Petrified Wood also alleviates stress and enables us to focus on the most important issues we need to address.

This fossil stone helps with finding a mentor. As the Stone of Wisdom, it can guide you to a wise person. If you have been looking for a teacher or mentor this stone will help attract one to your life, or it can help you recognize a mentor that is already in your life. If you have been hesitant to commit to a teacher, this stone aids in releasing the fear or doubts. In addition, this gemstone enables you open up to your own Inner Wisdom and Inner Mentor.

If you are seeking spiritual evolution and development, Petrified Wood facilitates spiritual expansion. It enables us to access our deepest Inner Wisdom and dissolve barriers on our Spiritual Path. Petrified Wood reminds me of the essence of Ganesh, the Remover of Obstacles, this stone will dissolves barriers to development and growth. Combined with a wise mentor, Petrified Wood has the ability to accelerate our spiritual growth.

Finally, Petrified Wood enables us to access past life information.  The average age of these specimen is millions of years old so it connects us with our deepest past lives. This stone also helps with accessing Akashic records and the collective unconscious. Specifically, Petrified Wood allows us to ease into past knowledge to access lessons, wisdom and release attachments to past life issues.
