This is a beautiful, antiquated looking petrified wood specimen from one of my all time favorite petrified forests!  These richly colored and delicately preserved specimens are some of the most collectible petrified wood pieces found anywhere on the planet.  The growth structure is finely preserved in this very high agate content fossil and reveals the pore structure of a fossil black ash tree.  The polish we've coaxed from the surface of this gorgeous specimen is in a class by itself - glossy and mirror perfect!  One of the best McDermitt hardwoods we've handled in ages in an easy to collect and display size!

This is a really beautiful specimen of the petrified wood found in a desolate sagebrush desert that spans over 100 square miles on the Oregon/Nevada border.  This ancient caldera is home to several dig sites that can produce some of the finest petrified wood found anywhere.  This is a slice from a perfectly preserved hardwood, with absolutely gorgeous gem quality agate in warm, natural wood tones preserving this ancient fossil. The exterior is still ash white - colored by the ancient volcanic blast that buried this prehistoric forest. The inside, however, is a richly colored array of gem quality agate that preserved the wood grain beautifully in every detail! The cell structure from the growth rings in this attractive fossil specimen are amazingly well preserved, especially in the lighter colored regions. The rays and the cells in this excellent ring porous hardwood fossil are consistent with black ash trees. The pit that this log came from has produced many fine petrified cherry specimens but few other hardwoods. The specimens from this particular dig (airport site) are easily recognized by the richer than average color spectrum and the nicely contrasting rind (even by other McDermitt dig standards).

This excellent round comes from one of Oregon's premier petrified wood deposits known to collectors the world over. If you don't have a specimen from this area, this would be a dandy to get you acquainted!! It's cut from the center of a nicely shaped log that allows you to see the medullary rays and other cell features with your naked eye (although it takes good eye sight to see fibers that small). This specimen has been carefully polished to show off all the gemmy detail inside. It took a beautiful polish and has just a few hints of red in some of the cells (probably from the nearby cinnabar deposits)! It's another one of those beautiful fossil treasures that some happy Sticks-in-Stones customer is going to flip over!

This round measures 8 3/4" wide across the mirror polished face and is cut approx. 0.42" thick.  Weight is 1.60 lbs.
