During the Eoceneepoch tiny four toed horses and rhinos roamed the plains of central Oregon. They grazedbeside stands of ancient Redwood and Pine trees. In the nearby low-lying swampsalligators cruised around Bald Cypress trees. This was approximately 50 millionyears ago. During that very dramatic Geological period, nearby volcanoeserupted and some of the wood from those trees was permanently preserved aspetrified wood. The preserving mineral was quartz one of nature's more durablegemstones. Thepre-mineralized wood from Hampton Butte, DeschutesCounty, Central Oregon, USAis composed of agate and jasper as well as preserved cell structure. Colorsinclude Carnelian reds, forest greens, dark mustard, light greens, sandstone, browns and occasionally blue/green. Many specimens are perfect casts with nobroken surfaces.
