texaswoodie Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 It's my understanding this green wood was found near Holbrook AZ. They collected it out and none remains in the wild. Chromate, the same mineral that makes emeralds green is what colored this wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Smilodon Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 It's my understanding this green wood was found near Holbrook AZ. They collected it out and none remains in the wild. Chromate, the same mineral that makes emeralds green is what colored this wood. Paleo legend has it that there has only been one tree found of the chromium wood (thus, its incredible price.) About two years ago, I heard that more had been discovered, but I haven't been able to truly verify that. TW, I think what you've got there is green wood from another locality called Hampton Butte in Oregon. The arizona wood tends to look just like wood except it's mint green through and through with little variation. The picture below is a representative slice of Hampton Butte wood that I sold last year. Jus' sayin' although it's a very nice piece either way.

texaswoodie Posted January 5, 2010 Author Share Posted January 5, 2010 Yep, I forgot to resize the files. If you decide to stone me please use Mammoth bones and teeth. The one on the left is a full round and is 6 x 4 x 1 inches. The one on the right is 2 x 5 x 3 inches. You may be right Smilodon. All I have to go on is what the seller told me. She sent me a full flat rate box for $2 a pound, so I'm not going to argue with her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barefootgirl Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Wow very pretty! In formal logic, a contradiction is the signal of defeat: but in the evolution of real knowledge, it marks the first step in progress toward victory.
