Agatized Petrified Wood. Wedge-shaped chunk of agatized petrified wood with varied horizontal striations. On side has been cut and polished; opposite side still natural and raw.
Size: 5 x 4 x 5 in.
Agatized wood is a form of petrified wood in which the organic material has been replaced by silica, primarily in the form of agate—a variety of microcrystalline quartz—over millions of years. This process preserves the original structure of the wood, including growth rings and cellular details, while infusing it with rich, varied colors such as reds, browns, blues, and yellows, depending on the trace minerals present during fossilization. Found in regions with historic volcanic activity, such as the American Southwest, agatized wood is prized both as a geological specimen and as a decorative material used in jewelry, carvings, and display pieces. Its beauty lies in the fusion of organic form and mineral brilliance, capturing a moment of ancient natural transformation.
