Petrified wood began as living trees that were buried in mineral rich material. A series of rare and unusual circumstances combined to replace the natural wood fibers with hard mineral quartz.

Most petrified wood lacks integrity and good color. However, a select few pieces are exceptional. These are the pieces that Russell-Zuhl works with, the creme de la creme — ones that touch you with the unequaled beauty of nature.

Petrified wood is a remarkable testament to the natural world’s transformative power. Originating as living trees, they became entombed in mineral-rich sediments, undergoing a process that replaced their organic matter with stunning mineral quartz.
