Hold a piece of ancient history in your hand with our Petrified Wood polished hearts, ethically sourced from the rich landscapes of Boeny, Madagascar. These AA Grade hearts, measuring between 1.25 and 1.75 inches, are a beautiful tapestry of geological time, showcasing vibrant, earthy colors and a remarkably smooth, heart-shaped finish. Each piece carries a unique story, with minimal flaws or fracture lines that speak to its long, natural process of transformation.
Each of these crystal hearts has been polished to perfection by a world-class lapidary in Madagascar, and a key difference is that no resins or stone sealers were used in the process. Because they are not machine-polished, there is some natural variation in the sizes and weights. This more natural form of stonework yields pieces with real character and individuality, setting them apart from many of the mass-produced polished items on the market.
Petrified wood is a stone of profound grounding and stability, carrying the energy of deep time and ancient forests. It is believed to connect you with the Earth's enduring wisdom, encouraging patience, resilience, and a deep sense of security. Its beautiful patterns and powerful energy make it an exceptional conscious adornment for your space or personal practice.

Sourcing Insights
Pattern & Texture: Genuine petrified wood often displays patterns and colors that resemble tree rings or bark. The surface should be stony and not feel like plastic.
Weight: Due to the fossilization process, real petrified wood is heavy for its size, similar to a regular stone or mineral, not lightweight like wood.
Hardness: It should feel hard and solid, and not be easily scratched.
