This is a slab cut from a less commonly encountered, smaller diameter log from one of the most prized petrified wood deposits on the planet! Full round cross sections this size aren't often dug from this bed. Like most of you, I sometimes see images in the awe inspiring patterns and colors frozen in time within these incredible stones. This one just looked like all the color of a glowing sunrise over the Arizona Desert when I cut it. This absolutely beautiful piece of gem fossil wood is cut from one of the more unusually colorful Arizona rainbow petrified wood logs I've personally handled. The hues are more desert earth toned and the rings show more than most Arizona wood does also. It's a smaller sized (for this forest anyway) slab cut from a reasonably full cross section of a med-small diameter log. It was collected by a friend of mine on a private fee ranch in Arizona near the town of Holbrook. It's some of the most colorful wood I've ever seen come from this famous petrified forest. It doesn't show in the photo, but the display face is polished to a mirror finish as only we promise on every piece we offer. The face is polished to a mirror finish to reveal all the natural color and pattern of this fossil log turned gemstone! You won't find many like this anywhere in the world! It has a very impressive presence that would look amazing as a conversation piece, mounted on the wall, on a stand on a bookshelf or even a desk or table!
This is a piece of petrified wood from what is arguably the most famous petrified wood deposit around - the great Arizona Petrified Forest! Don't worry, this wood was mined (as it still is today) from a private ranch near Holbrook, AZ, not pirated away from the National Monument. Despite some of the wild claims you see in various eBay auctions, this wood is still quite available and legally for sale at reputable rockshops including the big one just outside the monument. The problem with being famous is the folklore that follows I suppose. The reason this wood is so famous is pretty clearly demonstrated in this gorgeous specimen. Arizona wood (Rainbow Wood as it is sometimes called) is just filled with rich colors, often dominated by red and black but covering every color in the rainbow! This lovely specimen is a very attractive and unusually patterned, richly colored log that really shows the wood grain and color off better than some of the giant display pieces often will!
This piece is cut uniformly thick and mirror polished on one face to produce a world class work of natural art. The pieces are quite solid and meant to be handled. A quick squirt of Windex will remove fingerprints from the glassy polished surface.
This lovely piece of fossil wood is ground, sanded and polished on a series of special laps we built to bring you the highest quality lapidary finish available on the market. The Sticks-in-Stones polish is something our customers have come to appreciate and seek out. We guarantee you'll be impressed too!
This slab measures about 11 1/4" x 7 3/8" wide across the mirror polished face. It's cut about 1/2" thick. Weight is 3.06 lbs.
What better way to accentuate a bookshelf, desk or your mantle than with this unbelievable natural work of art!
