I'm interested in petrified wood for the scientific value (wood where the cell structure is well preserved), for the aesthetic value (mineralized with vivid colors and crystal shapes), and for oddities (like fungus, insect borings etc.) contained in the wood. Below are three petrified wood slabs, from the United States, from my collection. The below individual slab pictures were taken with the slabs dry, indoors using my camera with flash. The close-up pictures were taken with my Dino-Lite digital microscope. If you want to see a lot more of the petrified wood pieces in m

Hi everyone! Recently I bought this piece of blue petrified wood. In the process of cleaning, I have soak the whole piece in muriatic acid for about a day and half, and in water with baking soda for about 2 days to neutralize the acid.

I am not sure if I have somehow damage i

Prep help needed!!!!! 1. Blue Forest petrified wood. I have used a chisel and an engraver to remove most of the algal growth on the outside of the wood. Is there a chemical means to remove the fine stuff that remains without hurting the wood or the blue agate?? 2. Individual silicified shells of the fossil snail Goniobasis (Turritella Agate) found at Wamsutter, Wyoming. Again, is there a chemical way to remove the tan coating on many of these. Even if it took the shell away, I am most interested in preserving the beautiful silicified interiors of these shells. I

For those who enjoy solitude and quiet away from large crowds of people, visiting the Blue Forest of Wyoming is probably one of the best choices. I personally love the most remote places possible, so I enjoy Blue Forest but those of you accustomed to living in or near a busy city may find it unsettling (or so I've been told). It can get busy during the summer, but overall it tends to be pretty quiet especially the further away from the road you go. I was able to visit the site last month and I found some very cool things. The drive out to the site really isn't too long in my opinion, but it's

For the second year in a row, I took a long, two-week vacation to Wyoming, Utah and Colorado in late August and early September. It was a nice vacation but perhaps a bit too long. The highlight of my trip was visits to the Warfield fish quarry in Kemmerer, WY, the Blue Forest in Eden Valley, WY, Wamsutter, WY for "Turritella Agate", Great Basin National Park in Nevada and Douglass Pass in Colorado. I've been working on a really involved narrative of the whole trip but it is taking some time and I'm running out of steam so I wanted to get some pictures and summaries up on the Forum.
