SiS: JET BLACK Wyoming Eden Valley Petrified Wood Round
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:4563446 |
This nice well defined specimen comes from one of my favorite petrified wood deposits. It's a lovely and interestingly shaped round with great wood preservation in an inky black color scheme with perfect structure under magnification (a day in some bleach or a month in the sun would bring it out even better). As polished, it is a mirror perfect jet black agate wood slab! It's a neat specimen from the center of a nic...e, well preserved log with just enough inclusions infused in the fossilized face to make it interesting!Here's an absolutely beautiful 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 has really nice wood preservation with a very well defined heart in the center of the log and it's very highly agatized! 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 a nice 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 sized specimen, and it is close to perfect - something that will show proudly in any collection. It measures about 6 3/4" across the mirror polished face and is cut 0.32" thick. A nice, unique naturally wonderful stone collectible exclusively from Sticks-in-Stones Lapidary.
