Peanut Wood
Science & Origin of Peanut Wood
Peanut Wood is a type of petrified wood formed from coniferous trees around the Cretaceous period (145-66 million years ago). Similar in size to our redwood trees, these trees are believed to have fallen and eventually swept out to sea and became driftwood. While this happened, a small clam species called Toredo began to bore holes in the wood, eventually becoming waterlogged and sinking to the ocean floor. The pieces of wood became enriched in a clay material known as radiolarian sediment and soon began to start its petrification process. This took several million years to complete and is now in a region completely dry and under several feet of clay. The area is known as the Kennedy Ranges and is about 100 miles east of Carnarvon, Western Australia.
The name Peanut Wood is derived from its appearance, which resembles small white peanuts within a dark brown matrix. This fossilized botanical can also be completely white, black, brown, red, or yellow. The material is usually processed as tumbled pocket stones, cut into slabs, used as home interior decorations, as well as even polished into jewelry.
Meaning & Origin
Peanut Wood is one of the greatest talismans for accessing past life recall. Through this process, we can learn from previous lessons and look towards old wounds to heal. Some scars carry over through physical lives as their wounds may appear eternal. Only through the relieving and release of this past trauma will you be able to free yourself emotionally and move forward. Deep meditation and third eye practices are just a few exercises you can practice to help identify these traumatic experiences.
Each piece is very different from one another and is a perfect meditation tool to place directly in front or around you. This variety of petrified wood comes from a stronger more powerful time in our planet's history; the energy during this period allowed for life to grow at an exceptional rate and can be channeled to do the same for you. Peanut Wood can also promote an energetic cleanse and transfer of grounding energy to our physical bodies so that the Earth may heal us once more.
