Crushed Petrified Wood Sand from Arizona, 3 Sand Sizes for Woodworking and Ring Inlay, Resin Art, Memorial Jewelry

This crushed petrified wood is from Arizona and formed during the Late Triassic period. At that time, downed trees accumulated in river channels and were subsequently buried by sediment containing volcanic ash. Groundwater then dissolved the silica from the volcanic ash and carried it into the downed logs, where it formed quartz crystals that gradually replaced the organic matter over time. Iron oxide and other trace elements combined with the silica to create the variety of colors that we see in petrified wood from Arizona today. This crushed material has a wonderful geologic story and would be a great selection for your unique projects. 

MATERIAL SIZE

Our crushed sand-sized material ranges from very fine to coarse sand, and is available in three different size variations: 1mm to 2mm (coarse sand), 0.25mm to 2mm (medium sand), and 0.25mm to 1mm (fine sand). Our sand-sized material is ideal for a wide range of creative projects, including woodworking inlays, memorial and resin jewelry, orgonite pyramids, ring inlay, resin molds, mosaics, terrariums, bezel cups, resin art, embellishments, and metaphysical projects.

EXTRA LISTING INFO

We prioritize providing high-quality materials for all artisans; therefore, our stones are natural and untreated unless otherwise specified. Photos may showcase both wet and dry crushed stone. Please note that wet stones can appear darker, which may resemble the finished look of the material after it's sealed with an adhesive.

We use the metric system for all size measurements, with units in millimeters (mm). Refer to the product photos for a visual guide using a metric ruler (cm/mm).
