All About WOOD Gemstones

What Are Wooden Gemstones?

down icon

Wooden gemstones, often referred to as petrified wood or fossilized wood, are formed when tree trunks or branches become buried under sediment. Over time, minerals seep into the wood and replace the organic material, preserving its structure while turning it into a gemstone. The result is a beautiful stone that retains the original patterns and colors of the wood, often showcasing stunning hues of brown, tan, and even vibrant reds and greens.

Key Characteristics of Wooden Gemstones

  • Color Variations: Ranges from rich browns and tans to striking reds, greens, and even blues, depending on the minerals present during the fossilization process.
  • Unique Patterns: Each piece displays intricate patterns that reflect the growth rings and texture of the original wood.
  • Durability: With a hardness of 6 to 7 on the Mohs scale, wooden gemstones are suitable for various jewelry applications.
