Jacob Harrison Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 I have found tons of petrified wood but this one is very unique around here. My son picked it up and you could tell by the sound of his voice he had something good. Has anyone seen quartz inside of petrified wood before?

ynot Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Quartz is a common replacement agent of petrified wood. Nice piece. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

Miocene_Mason Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Nice specimen! “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 At the petrified forest in Arizona they were destroying the logs to "mine" for amethyst crystals (that is one reason the park was established, to protect the logs from being crushed into gravel.).

Jacob Harrison Posted July 29, 2017 Author Share Posted July 29, 2017 It is also very delicate to the touch. Pieces crumble off every time you pick it up so it's going in the shadow box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
