Supply Chain for Petrified Palm Wood

This Petrified Palmwood comes from artisanal miners in Indonesia. The exact deposit is unknown, but it is likely on Java or Sumatra. Artisanal mining for agates and fossils is largely unregulated, but typically has a low environmental impact and is relatively low risk for miners.

This lapidary drum tumbles stones in Cape Town, South Africa. It is a family business, founded by a father and passed on to his sons. Factory workers have safe conditions and are paid fairly. The lapidary sells primarily at two gemshows, one in the United States and the other in France.

I have been doing business with this source since 2014. They are the oldest tumbling company in the world and have more varieties, in more sizes, than any other known source. The company started in California in the 1950s and was eventually bought by a British immigrant who had young sons. Eventually the company moved to South Africa in order to be closer to the source of their best-selling stone and to have the legal rights to export it. The company is now run by the sons and their childhood best friend.

The current owners personally visit many small and large mines. To connect with artisanal miners in sub-Sahara Africa, they work with local Gem Dealers who travel far into the bush to buy from part-time miners. The majority of these Gem Dealers are women. Some, but not all, of their stones are labeled with country-of-origin. For those that aren’t, I ask the owners directly. As I’ve learned more about mining practices in individual countries, I have become increasingly selective about what I will purchase from them. However, they remain my preferred source for most of the stones I sell from sub-Sahara Africa.

Petrified Palm Wood Healing, Mineralogy, and History

Published July 2014  •  Updated August 2024  •  Read Time: 9 minutes
Petrified Wood is a type of fossil created by mineral preservation.  When a tree is submerged in water and quickly covered up by sentiment, it is possible for the organic wood to be gradually replaced by silica minerals on a cellular level.  The fossil that is created is incredibly detailed, preserving every curve and ring.  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.

    Thank you so much! These stones are absolutely wonderful and so beautiful too! They are already working their magick, I feel closer to the ocean (even when I’m so far) and today we had our first rainfall in five weeks ending our terrible drought that was killing all the plants. Thank you so much for sending these loving gems to me.
