These awesome cabochon pendants have been created from the fossilised root system of an extinct palm from Indonesia. The dramatic contrasting colours make this pieces spectacular and I find the material to be similar to the Opalised Wood from Springsure in Queensland Australia rather than the heavy, darker, more traditional Petrified Wood that most people are familiar with.

Each piece will be supplied on the chord as shown and supplied with a woven bag to store your pendant when you are not wearing it.

Fossil, (from the Latin fossus, literally ”having been dug up”) are the mineralized or otherwise preserved remains or traces of animals, plants, and other organisms. In ancient times they were believed to be a gift from the stars and were revered by many cultures. Because of their age they have been used throughout the centuries as a talisman for protection and long life.\n\nFossilization is actually a rare occurrence because organic materials tend to decompose and the process requires the relatively quick preservation of bodily remains. Normally, the remains need to be covered by sediment or trapped in resin as soon as possible. However there are exceptions to this, such as if an organism comes to rest in an anoxic (without oxygen) environment at the bottom of a lake. The oldest known structured fossils date from 3.5 billion years ago. There are several different types of fossils and fossilization processes including permineralisation, mold or replacement fossils, compression fossils, resin fossils and trace fossils. Many fossils available on the market are from Morocco, which has vast deposits of Devonian Limestone which date back three hundred fifty million years ago.

Fossils are a wonderful tool to assist you in moving from the old to the new and to be receptive to the fresh, innovative forces that are available to you. Fossils can assist you in your quest for transition, transformation and personal growth, helping you to understand the process of change. They can help you instil quality and excellence in your environment.

Most fossils are created when the biological material of a plant, insect or animal is replace by opal, chalcedony or other minerals over millennia. The mineral takes on the form of the biological matter within the surrounding rock formations or within sedimentary layers.\nAmber, Jet, Petrified Wood, Sand dollars, and Ammonites are some examples of fossils.

Revered by many cultures for centuries, fossils, because of their age, are often used as talismans for protection and long life. They are links to the past and, as such, can be helpful for past-life visualisation, astral travel and increased knowledge of ancient ways. Fossils are associated with the earth element, which can heighten your intuition, especially when learning about crystals.

Use fossils around a home or at work to create a harmonious and organised atmosphere. They can teach us to be aware of the cycle of life and to embrace change with a feeling of security.

You can use fossils to ease atrophied muscles; strengthen bones and help with disorders of the hands and feet. Fossils will bring you harmony, dignity and splendour. These stones offer you a sense of beauty, seductive charm and charisma. Fossils will awaken interest in mysteries and releases mental obsessions. They have been known to normalise cell metabolism, energy output, heartbeat and fortifies the heart.

Petrified Wood:-

If wood, is quickly covered with fine grained sedimentary rock, preservation of a large proportion of the original form will begin. Growth rings, outer bark and even worm holes in the wood can be preserved in this process.

Petrified Wood holds a vibration that helps you tap into your body's ability to regenerate and rejuvenate. It is also good for supporting the cellular structure of your body. Petrified wood is a wonderful support for all types of physical healing. It is particularly good for balancing the liver and gallbladder. It can assist in cleansing the liver and the blood. It facilitates proper blood-cell manufacture in the bone marrow.

Petrified Wood brings embedded feelings in your subconscious to the surface to remove unnecessary limits on your potential. This fossilised wood assists you in letting go of these unhealthy emotions. Petrified wood can help you recognise and overcome limiting emotional patterns handed down through your ancestors. Often these emotional patterns were created as survival tools in order to deal with situations your ancestors encountered, but which are no longer appropriate. Petrified wood can help you identify which of these patterns are no longer needed, so such limitations can be cleared, freeing humanity from the destructive echos of the past, while still keeping the ancient wisdom that can help you return to balance.

Petrified Wood reminds you that all the knowledge and wisdom you need is available in the recesses of your mind. These fossilised pieces assist you in the process of clearing out the clutter that no longer serves you. It supports you as you remove the extraneous from your life and uncovers previously hidden information that you currently need.

Petrified Wood teaches you that much of what you need to realise, understand, remember or know is buried deep within your body, mind and soul. Petrified wood assists in uncovering the layers or years of negative thought patterns through spiritual healing practices like yoga, tai chi, rebirthing, past life regression therapy, meditation and shamanic journey work.  Petrified wood embodies Spirit in form. It is a powerful teacher of the beauty and power of the physical realm and helps you receive and learn the lessons of being and embodied, conscious spirit on the Earth plane. It assists you in recognising that the Earth provides everything we need. It helps you overcome scarcity consciousness and the greed it breeds within yourself.
