About Petrified Wood
Our collection of petrified wood jewelry shows off a variety of colors and patterns - but each one is reminiscent of the living, breathing tree that it started off as. The pieces have that warmth and organic feel of wood, with the durability and shine of stone. Don’t forget that you can engrave a tree drawing on the back of the silver!
Amazonite
The mineral is a type of feldspar, which is a rock that forms during a volcanic event. Feldspar is very common, but normally is white or gray in color.

I’m thrilled to share these rare and stunning stones with you. Don’t wait long if you love the jewelry - there’s not a lot of the stone out there!
