Petrilignum Tree

Petrilignum Trees or "Stone Wood" (Also known as Ore Mine Trees) are peculator trees that were named Ore Mine Trees by explorers for it grews over abundant amounts of minerals in the harsh conditions of the isles of Denego.
==Information==
:A stone like wood found in Denego, known and used for finding metals like Copper or Iron, miners search for the deep rooted trees to dig up the metals that they live off. Though the trees live off a wide amount of common minerals, miners will cut a branch to look at color of the inside of the wood for what minaral it is over.
:Cut wood is normally not used as lumber for the heaviness and sells better as decorative items
:Often the places that these trees grow have been stripped of the minerals by miners. The trees starve and die leaving a hallow petrified wood and because of lack of nutrients, the newest growth of clear quartz. The healthier the tree the more cloudy and colored the 'leaves' are.
==Appearance==
: Petrilignum Trees are knotty woods that are effected by the mineral that it absorbs. They act as living petrified trees gathering nutrients that they can when the rains come. The minarals that the tree doesn't need is deposted in the trunk

*Ore Mine Trees do not need sunlight to grow
*Ground level trees grow slower and have a different and worn appearance compared to ones that are found in caverns, because they are greatly less effected by Denego's acid rains.
*Myths are formed around these trees, the ones that are the most known is the life of Denego are reflected in the cystals of the Tree and the only time a Petrilignum tree burns is when it touches the sun.
