How are petrified wood marbles made
Wood fossil stones are tree fossils that are at least hundreds of millions of years old and quickly buried in the ground, and the woody parts are exchanged by SIO2 (silicon dioxide) in groundwater. Each piece is unique, with different patterns of circles and rectangles obtained by cutting crosswise or vertically. Petrified wood semi-precious stones refer to mineral fossils with a wooden structure, which also have the characteristics and commercial value of gemstones. These fossilized wood formed after a long geological process and were gradually replaced by minerals.
Wood petrified semi-precious stones generally have the following characteristics:
Wood Structure: Petrified wood semi-precious stones still retain the texture and details of the original wood, such as growth rings, grains, pores, etc. This makes them very similar in appearance to real wood, giving them a natural and unique feel.
Mineral enrichment: During the formation process of petrified wood and semi-precious stones, the organic matter in the wood is replaced by minerals, gradually forming a mineral-enriched structure. These minerals can include quartz, agate, tourmaline, etc., giving petrified wood semi-precious stones the characteristics and qualities of gemstones.
Hardness and durability: Due to the substitution of minerals in petrified wood semi-precious stones, its hardness is relatively high and it can resist a certain amount of pressure and wear. This makes them more durable when making jewelry and crafts.
Rarity and value: Because petrified wood semi-precious stones require specific geological conditions and a long time to form, they are uncommon. Its rarity and uniqueness add a certain value and appeal to it, making it a valuable collectible and commercial gem.
Application:
Due to the unique texture and beauty of petrified wood, petrified wood slabs are widely used in the fields of construction and decoration.
Indoor floor paving: Large petrified wood slabs can be used for indoor floor paving, adding a natural and simple atmosphere to the room. Its unique texture and color make the floor full of art and personality, and it is wear-resistant, easy to clean, and has a long service life.
Wall decoration: Using large petrified wood panels for wall decoration can bring natural visual effects and warm atmosphere to the indoor space. The texture and texture of the large petrified wood slabs make the wall more three-dimensional and layered, creating a unique decorative effect.
Indoor furniture production: Large slabs of petrified wood can be made into various furniture, such as tables, cabinets, bookshelves, etc. These furniture not only have practical functions, but also show off the unique beauty of petrified wood, making the interior space more unique.

It should be noted that the selection and use of petrified wood slabs need to be determined according to specific project needs and decoration style, and the care and maintenance of the material should also be taken into consideration.
Generally speaking, petrified wood semi-precious stones are mineral fossils with wood structure, mineral enrichment, moderate hardness and the characteristics of gemstones. With their unique beauty and value, they are loved and sought after in the field of jewelry and handicrafts.
