Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:44325071 |
I have another world class specimen to share that I think will really amaze!This is a really attractive Blue Forest petrified wood round that has an awful lot going on in it's moderately size polished face. The more I look at this one, the more I see! It's definitely among the finest I've had the pleasure of polishing this year. The wood grain is actually very, very finely detailed and easily visible in this gem fossil and it is accented with really nice&nbs...p;insect borings. There's also a second heart from what is probably a branch coming off the main stem. It's a fairly thin cut heel but is very solid and took a gorgeous polish. This one is truly perfect, extra-colorful and nicely preserved - they don't get much better! The generous inclusions of blue agate combine with the world class wood grain patterns to form an absolutely gorgeous specimen. There are some really stunningly beautiful translucent agate regions framing the intricate wood grain in this one. Just look at the detail in that mirror perfect polish the likes of which only the Sticks-in-Stones Rockshop can deliver and our imitators can't match! Here's an absolutely museum grade Blue Forest petrified round cut from the center of a perfectly formed log that's got it all. There's a lot of brilliantly colored blue agate framing the perfectly preserved log frozen inside. It's got really nice wood preservation throughout 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 more than its share of blue agate too! I'm amazed at the detail in the blue fortification agate that filled the voids around this log - the agate alone would make this a collector piece - coupled with the absolutely flawless petrified wood round inside it becomes a real collection centerpiece! There are even several easy to spot insect boring trails in the wood! You could wait a long time and not see a piece this dramatic - it's really a fabulous addition to any petrified wood collection! The Blue Forest 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 little log is one of them! The dark, blue/black, coffee and chocolate colors the wood is preserved in are characteristic of these specimens, as are the infusions of blue agate that filled the cracks and coated the log! This is a perfectly flat slice from the center of a 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 nice, eye catching specimen, and it is close to perfect - something that will show proudly in any collection. It measures about 4" wide and is sliced from very thin to a maximum of about 3/8" thick (rough and natural on the back so it varies a bit). Weight is 0.22 lbs. Stands shown sold separately. A nice, unique naturally wonderful stone collectible exclusively from Sticks-in-Stones Lapidary.
