Some Background:Official State Stone of Texas Texas designated petrified palmwood as the official state "stone" in 1969 (petrified wood is actually a fossil rather than a stone). Petrified wood is also the state gem of Washington, and the state fossil of North Dakota and Louisiana. All State Fossils - All State Stones What is now arid Texas was a lush tropical forest 100 million years ago. Trees that fell into mineral-rich mud before having a chance to decay became petrified wood, which is actually a quartz-like stone. The organic wood cells were replaced over time by minerals, often retaining the detailed shape of the original prehistoric wood. Petrified wood is called the most beautiful of fossils. The spotted look of palmwood is caused by fossilized rod-like structures within the original wood. Depending upon the angle the stone is cut, they show up as spots, tapering rods, or lines. Petrified palm wood is very hard and takes a wonderful polish, making beautiful jewelry.
