Paula says - "In my opinion this vintage bracelet shows all the design characteristics and workmanship of being Navajo made. But because there is no hallmark that we can attribute to a specific artist we can't legally sell it as Native American made - read more." |

Rescue Mission |
What is Petrified Wood?Petrified, or
fossilized, wood is wood in which the vegetable material has been replaced by
minerals, usually silica. The silica may be in the form of jasper, agate, chalcedony
or even opal. For this process to occur the wood must buried in mud, ash, lake
sediment or other material to exclude oxygen and prevent decay. The varied colors
of petrified wood are created by minerals such as iron oxide and manganese oxide,
that enter the wood in solution with the silica. |
