Description
Petrified Forest National Park, located near Holbrook, Arizona, is a wonderful place to see ancient trees and vegetation, felled by volcanic activity approximately 200 million years ago. This area was a lowland with a tropical climate and covered by a dense forest. Rivers flooded by tropical rain storms washed mud and other sediments into the lowlands. Large trees covered the land. These gems were created by the process of rapid burial of the plants as they were covered by ash. Lack of oxygen did not allow organisms to that work on dead vegetation to cause deterioration. This allowed the vegetation to turn into rocks.
Native Americans would cut the precious gems and use them for trade with other tribes and explorers.
Today, you can walk through these splendid pieces of petrified wood and marvel how this now hot high desert climate, once was a cool and beautiful marshland.

Thank you for sharing the beauty of this stone from trees. Magnificent once thought about using for my gravestone but chose Rose quartz instead since it is my last name!
