Mineralogy: Petrified wood (quartz pseudomorph after wood; SiO₂; organic structure replaced by silicic acid)

Petrified wood is a witness to ancient forests: over the course of millions of years, the organic wood structure was replaced layer by layer by silicic acid until a quartz mineral was formed, preserving the tree's original grain and structure. Depending on the species and origin, various colors and grain patterns emerge – making each bead a unique natural testimony. These particularly large, flat-oval beads (25 x 35 mm) showcase this natural beauty in an expressive and impressive way – ideal for statement necklaces and high-quality designer jewelry.

Significant locations: USA (Arizona), Madagascar, Indonesia, Tanzania, Egypt.
