Owl Figurine Petrified Wood Carved Stone Animal
This beautiful hand carved Petrified Wood gemstone owl figurine is 6 inches tall by 2.75 inches wide and 2.9 inches thick.
This gemstone is the fossilized wood of trees and it is from Northwest America.
The Petrified Wood formed when a tree died and was buried by sediments. Minerals in the groundwater then permeated the wood, replacing the original organic matter and turning it to stone. The main mineral is silica, but trace elements in the silica create a variety of colors.
Petrified Wood is a member of the Chalcedony family. It is very hard and takes an excellent polish.
The Owl is a symbol of wisdom and often considered magical. In Greek mythology, the owl was sacred to Athena, the goddess of wisdom. The owl has exceptional vision and sense of hearing and is regarded as the protector of the night.
