It is the result of a tree having turned completely into stone by the process of permineralization. All the organic materials have been replaced with minerals (most often a silicate, such as quartz), while retaining the original structure of the wood. Unlike other types of fossils which are typically impressions or compressions, petrified wood is a three dimensional representation of the original organic material. The petrifaction process occurs underground, when wood becomes buried under sediment and is initially preserved due to a lack of oxygen which inhibits aerobic decomposition. Mineral-laden water flowing through the sediment deposits minerals in the plant's cells and as the plant's lignin and cellulose decay, a stone mould forms in its place.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn general, wood takes fewer than 100 years to petrify. The organic matter needs to become petrified before it decomposes completely. A forest where the wood has petrified becomes known as a petrified fores\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Az Petrified Wood is 1.50 LB and is  is 3 3\/8\" X 2 3\/4\" X 2 3\/8\". \u003cb\u003e  \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eI sell Tiffany Stone in quantity (bulk)!!
