Some of our natural products: Cristal balls, horns of Bison Priscus - dating from pre-Ice Age- , sheep and buffalo horns and many more........

On various pages on this site you will find products made with Petrified wood, we just love this material and like to give some further explanation: it is a type of fossil, in which the tissues of a dead plant are replaced with minerals (most often a silicate, such as quartz).

The petrifaction process occurs underground, when wood or woody materials suddenly become buried under sediment. Mineral-rich water flowing through the sediment deposits minerals in the plant's cells and as the plant's lignin and cellulose decays away, a stone cast is left in its place.

Minerals such as manganese , iron, and copper in the water/mud during the petrification process give petrified wood a variety of color ranges. Quartz crystals are colorless, but when iron is added to the process the crystals become stained with a yellow or red tint.

Following is a list of minerals and related color hues: Carbon and manganese oxides - black Cobalt, chromium and copper - green/blue Iron oxides - red, brown, yellow Manganese - pink Silica - white, grey

Petrified wood can be extremely detailed, often reflecting the internal structures of the plant from which they form. Structures such as tree rings and vascular tissues such as xylem are often observed features.

Petrified wood has a Mohs hardness level of 7, the same as quartz.
