Petrified Wood 2

In petrified wood, all the organic material has been replaced by minerals. The original structure of the wood is often maintained, right down to the microscopic level. This process takes place underground in sediment, where mineral-rich water flows and where a lack of oxygen preserves the wood. It's a story of death, burial, darkness, transformation, and beauty.

"You will restore my life again;
from the depths of the earth
you will again bring me up."

Psalm 71:20
