Petrified Wood says:
"All that I am is magic and I have set that in stone for all who have the heart to see it."
The voices and impressions from Petrified Wood, Amber, Trilobites and other fossil specimens can be very strong. It is as if the primal voice of the first soul is still singing within the stone. Landscapes, smells and images are always vivid and real when held. Fossilized Wood in the form of cult objects have been found in a 4300 year old Etruscan temple. Often used as an object of power in magic.
| Spiritually: Fossilized wood stimulates the feeling of a bond with our Earth Mother Gaia, bringing out thoughts of being at home - in tune with our shared planet. Wearing it bestows a feeling of being in the right place at the right time.

Silicified wood can assist in the removal of trivling annoyances by bringing one to the actions required to eliminate the situation. It aids in bringing to life the motto to "change what you can, and worry NOT about the rest".
Mentally: Fossilized Wood stimulates us to create a pleasant atmosphere, life a simple life and grant ourselves enough time for leisure and reflection. Petrified wood is also a "stone of Transformation" asisting one to advance to ones chosen level, to commence ascension to a higher aspect of the self, and to that no action is unnecessary - but that all actions bring one to ones ultimate purpose.

It stimulates the metabolism, calms the nerves, creates a feeling of well-being and helps with obesity, which is often caused by "inadequate earthing".

Petrified Wood's Story:
Once upon a forever, I listened to the cries of humans. I laid beside them while they died. I watched as they struggled to eat, witnessed the pain of birthing their young.
And I chose.
I chose with all my body, all my shape and all my hues, to lay my blessing upon their struggles and so I have done this. In the timeless forever of my growth, I have blesses you all. I do not weep at your deaths. I smile because I listen with such firmness that I break through your struggles. I witness new life coming from your pain. I bless the awareness you spark from your challenges. I bless all of this.
The whole story of your forever life lies withing my heart.
Wear me often and I will sing the old songs with the new and you will remember the magic you have brought upon yourself.

Most of my jewelry evolves from slices of raw rock hewn from the ground, When one side is polished the intristic inner beauty within each piece is revealed. A hauntingly beautiful yet rustic wearable art piece invariably evolves. I am not looking to achieve a polished, perfect, or symmetrical style of jewelry. The world already has too many machine made jewels. Appreciating the more basic vibration, I allow each slice to show case itself whenever possible.

Utilizing gemstones, beads and rocks from about the globe, I freely admit to one and all my addiction to one of the world's oldest professions:
