Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:15482543 |
Look at the magnificent jet black wood grain and the striking two tone color pattern in the face of this incredibly interesting petrified wood round!! If you look even closer you'll see a nicely articulated fossil algae rind framing the dark wood revealed in the mirror polished face! The wood grain and dark agate preserved in this piece is as dramatic as any I've seen from this region. This is a larger than average round... cut from the end of a log from the Eden Valley area in Wyoming. The back of this thick log heel cut is the naturally weathered heel end of the log. A great piece to expand a collection with, polished to perfection and ready to display! Here's an absolutely museum grade petrified wood round cut from the center of a gorgeous log that's got a lot of high contrast color patterns showing throughout the perfectly preserved log frozen inside. It's got really nice wood preservation with a very well defined heart in the center of the log and the most stunning wood grain you'll ever see in one of these pieces! It's accented with a golden calcite filled pocket lined with translucent agate and a big knot near the heart of the log! The wood is exceptionally preserved and shows the cells very clearly all the way through the specimen! This wood comes from Eden Valley, the same deposit that contains Wyoming's famed Blue Forest wood. It is a uniquely preserved bed of small branches and occasional logs in central Wyoming. The digging is hot and dusty, but every once in a while you stumble on a real treasure and this big log is one of them! The dark black coffee and cream colors the wood is preserved in are characteristic of these specimens, as are the infusions of agate that filled the cracks and coated the log! This is a perfectly flat slice from the center of much larger than average sized log from a pepperwood tree. It's been cut and polished to show off all the gemmy detail from this 50 million year old treasure captured inside. It took a pretty awesome polish - something we strive to produce on every specimen we put our name on! The fibrous cell structure of the radial wood grain is exceptional and easily studied with a hand lens. This is a much larger than average specimen, and it is close to perfect - something that will show proudly in any collection. It measures about 8 1/2" x 6" in diameter and is sliced to a maximum of about 3" thick (rough and natural on the back). Weight is 5.6 lbs. A nice, unique naturally wonderful stone collectible exclusively from Sticks-in-Stones Lapidary.
