Petrified Wood

Literally Petrified is wood turned into stone, type of fossil wood where all the organic material has been replaced with mineral while returning the original structure of wood.

The petrifaction process occurs underground, when wood becomes buried under sediment and is initially preserved due to a lack of oxigen. Mineral-rich water flowing through the sediment deposits minerals in the plant's cells and as the plant's lignin and cellulose decay away, a stone mould forms in its place.

Now, many people interest to art shape like this, most of them using it as stool, pedestal or a place to put something on top or just display it as an accesories. What's your idea?, is there any comments about this articles, I am waiting your information to share.
