Note: The base of this log is cut so that it can be displayed standing erect.  I don't know why I didn't take a photo in that presentation, but the slightly curving shape of the log makes for a great vertical display.  I'll try to add a photo showing this at a later date once Oregon dries out...

Here's an uncommon chance at a complete and very antiquated petrified log from the ancient caldera at McDermitt, OR.  This one appears to be a petrified white ash tree with fabulous gemmy preservation throughout the entire fossil.  This is truly a classic petrified wood display piece for this location - a gorgeous fossil log with amazing detail and rich color.  It's highly agatized and took a wonderful polish despite some spiderweb like porosity in a few places where it appears the log had begun to decay slightly before it was petrified.  The texture of the coarse looking bark on the exterior contrasts nicely with the beautiful, highly polished wood grain contained inside the mirror polished face!  We don't often have logs this size - this is a true collector piece!  Good luck!

This is a really large petrified log from a very well preserved petrified hardwood tree that was collected from the ancient caldera near McDermitt, Oregon. This particular log was cut as a single, massive display piece to show off all the antiquated beauty in a monolithic, impressive specimen. The exterior is just as it was found in the ground having only been cleaned off with a cut and polished face expertly prepared to reveal all the gemmy wood grain frozen inside! The wood is very highly agatized and took a magnificent polish. It's a perfect example of the classic petrified logs found at this location and prized by collectors all over the world! The cell preservation in this piece is excellent and easily studied with a hand lens (or one of the handheld microscopes sold in our eBay store). The base is cut flat on this one so that it will stand erect as shown in the photo with the heart nicely centered in this breathtakingly beautiful petrified wood display piece!

At Sticks-in-Stones Lapidary, we've perfected the process of polishing petrified wood to the point of causing panic amongst our imitators. The techniques are not secret (we even show many of them in the shop tour on our website) but the one detail you can't capture in a picture is dedication to the principal that every piece should receive the same care and attention to detail that the ones that end up in our own collection receive. Hard work and a no compromises attitude in the shop are what provide Sticks-in-Stones collectors one flawless, mirror perfect display specimen after another from our shop. If you haven't seen our lapidary work in person, we invite you to pick up a small piece at auction or from our eBay store just to see what all the fuss is about - we're confident you'll be able to see the difference easily yourself, but we're happy to help walk you through a simple inspection process that will help you sort the real value from the incredible claims of our imitators should you be curious. This impressive fossil treasure took millions of years to produce - it only seems fitting that we'd spend a little extra time to get the finish perfect as well!

This log is about 4 1/2" wide across the polished face and stands about 9 1/4" tall. Weight for this big specimen is 9.92 lbs!

A nice, unique naturally wonderful stone collectible exclusively from Sticks-in-Stones Lapidary .
