African Petrified Wood Agate 8mm Star Cut Coin - 15-16 Inch featured_12072023 Rhodonite belongs to the PyroxenoidPetrified Wood Agate is formed from the petrifaction process of primeval trees over the course of many years. Petrification occurs when the wood is covered by sedimentary rock, as waters loosen and decompose the organic elements and replace them with silicate substances, while maintaining the wood's original structure. Preservation is enabled by a lack of oxygen.
