Description
Up for sale is
this beautiful green/red/brown Hampton Butte petrified wood replacement
specimen. Hampton Butte, Oregon specimens are known worldwide for their beauty
and variety of colorful shades. This piece measures about 3 inches wide across
the polished face by 1-1/2 inches tall.
It measures nearly 4 inches long and weighs 1 lb. 6 ounces. The face has been cut and polished reveal the
various shades of green. The sides show the bark/grain texture around the
entire piece with the glazed or desert varnish sheen. The piece sits nicely for display purposes.
During the Eocene
epoch tiny four toed horses and rhinos roamed the plains of central Oregon.
They grazed beside stands of ancient Redwood and Pine trees. In the nearby
low-lying swamps alligators cruised around Bald Cypress trees. This was
approximately 50 million years ago. During that very dramatic Geological
period, nearby volcanoes erupted and some of the wood from those trees was
permanently preserved as petrified wood. The preserving mineral was quartz one
of nature's more durable gemstones.
The pre-mineralized wood from Hampton Butte, Deschutes County,
Central Oregon, USA is composed of agate and jasper
as well as preserved cell structure. Colors include Carnelian reds, forest
greens, dark mustard, sandstone, and browns. Many specimens are perfect casts
with no broken surfaces. The presence of decayed cell structure and beetle
larvae borings suggests that these are molded from dead wood. The shape of the
specimens and the material they are made of is quite a contrast. It's in the
shape of something that should be very soft, light, and rough, but it is hard,
heavy, naturally smooth and polished.
This piece would
look great in your cabinet or on your desk.
