Material & Craftsmanship

Ethically sourced from Arizona's premium petrified wood deposits and expertly handcrafted in the USA. At 11" × 7.25" × 2", these bookends are exceptionally large—pieces of this size and quality are increasingly rare in today's market.

Petrified wood forms when ancient trees are rapidly buried by sediment or volcanic ash in river systems, cutting off oxygen and halting decay. Over millions of years, minerals including silica dissolved from volcanic ash absorb into the porous wood and crystallize within the cellular structure, completely replacing organic matter with stone while preserving the tree's original form.

The Science of Color

The rich hues in petrified wood come from trace minerals present during fossilization:

  • Red & Rust: Iron oxide (hematite)
  • Yellow, Brown & Orange: Goethite and hydrated iron oxide
  • White & Cream: Pure silica
  • Black: Organic carbon or pyrite
  • Blue: Chalcedony, chrysocolla, cobalt
  • Green: Copper and cobalt
  • Pink: Manganese

Dimensions: 11" × 7.25" × 2"
Weight: 31 lbs (pair)
Origin: Arizona
Age: Over 200 million years
Handcrafted in the USA

Each pair is one-of-a-kind. Natural variations in color, grain pattern, and texture make your bookends truly unique.
