"Brilliant Alabama Drewsey smoky quartz wood" refers to a specific type of petrified wood found near the town of Brilliant, Alabama, which is uniquely characterized by its cavities lined with sparkling, tiny (druzy) smoky quartz crystals.
Formation and Characteristics
Petrification: The process began around 80-90 million years ago during the Cretaceous period, in an ancient near-shore delta plain environment. Organic material in the original wood was gradually replaced by silica-rich minerals from the groundwater, creating a detailed fossil that preserves the wood's fine grains and rings.
Druzy Quartz Crystals: The "brilliant" aspect comes from the layer of miniscule, glittering quartz crystals (druse) that grew inside the wood's hollows and pores over millions of years.
Color: The crystals range in color from clear to a deep smoky or chocolate hue, which is likely due to natural radiation exposure over geologic time. *This piece is UV Reactive. Size 6 x 4”.
