• Fossil wood(petrified wood) was formed 225 million years ago during the Triassic period and is 4 times as hard as granite and very colorful, due to the effect of impurities such as iron, manganese, copper and lithium present in the wood during the fossilizing process.
  
  The usual color of petrified wood is red, with yellow, black and white bands although other shades such as blue are often found. The stone has high silica content, and is generally similar to agate in composition and appearance.
  
  Only the trunks of trees seem to be preserved but these may be almost complete, up to 10m in length and 2m thick at the base although they tend to be broken up into sections.
