Petrified wood, the athlete's stone.

Petrified wood is another example of fossilized plant material used for healing purposes. This crystal has a special relationship with man, as trees have a circulatory system in many ways similar to ours.

This characteristic makes petrified wood ideal for curing ailments of the skin, muscle tissue and the circulatory system. It usually appears in shades of brown, but can be streaked with black and gray. Wood petrifies through a mineralization process, and these minerals can influence and change colour over time.

It is recommended that athletes use it, including in healing sessions.

The literature mentions its benefit for people with arteriosclerosis, arthritis, rheumatism, senility and in the fight against blood clots. As an artefact that offers us clues about life in the past, petrified wood can help us investigate past life experiences.

It also has a deep connection to the earth and the environment and will make its wearer a more nature conscious person.
