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.
