At Moonrise Crystals we believe that there’s a crystal for every person and every situation. This Petrified Palmwood was gifted to a very special person. They were nominated by someone who loves them very much.
She loves nature, especially the woods. She’ll walk right up to a tree and speak to it, just as though she were a nympth and her sister-dryad was inside. She smiles when she does that, like the tree speaks back to her. Who’s to say it hasn’t? She’s got an air of magic around her. She can feel the pulsing, dancing energies of the universe and it feels her with joy and hope. Sure, she’s got her troubles and difficulties, who hasn’t? But she is alive, fully and truly alive, reveling in the sheer bounty of life itself. Her happiness is infectious. She’s a gift to all who know her. When they are beside her, magic is in the air. Trees can talk. Life is filled with joy and hope.
Her lover delights in her. What started out as fling, soon transformed into best-friendship and a deep and loyal love. His great hope is that life will treat her as kindly as she deserves – and she deserves the very best. One thing is absolutely certain, he’s always going to do his best by her.

Petrified Wood is a type of fossil created by mineral preservation.

The fossil can be a nondescript brown or brightly colored, even multicolored depending on which minerals preserved it. Confers trees, like pine and fir, are the most likely to fossilize, but deciduous and palm trees can also fossilize. Petrified Wood is a wonderful choice for grounding, patience and transformation.
