SiS: GIANT 17 ", KNOTTY Rip Cut Petrified Wood Plank - McDermitt, Oregon
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:31687497 |
This is one of the more unusual McDermitt piece I've seen. This wood was actually found on the surface of a remote part of the McDermitt caldera and shows significant weathering. It's a very highly agatized piece of petrified wood, and this one is rip cut (not across the grain) to reveal some really amazing wood grain patterns including one huge knot that dominates the face! The color is soft and neutral and would make a won...derful, ancient and natural decorator piece in almost any setting. This is significantly different than the more often seen coffee and cream colored wood from this region and comes closer to looking like an odd piece of Hubbard Basin wood, but McDermitt it is, 100% certain! It took a very nice polish and really does look great. This is a thick, stout slab that would make an excellent table top or wall art! Only Sticks-in-Stones can offer specimens so perfectly polished that they can reveal both their aesthetic beauty and their fossils secrets so flawlessly!
This is a really beautiful specimen of the petrified wood found in a desolate sagebrush desert that spans over 100 square miles on the Oregon/Nevada border. It's a slice from a perfectly preserved hardwood, with absolutely gorgeous gem quality agate in rich, dark colors preserving this ancient fossil. The inside is a richly colored array of gem quality agate that preserved the wood grain beautifully in every detail! The wood structure in this attractive fossil specimen are amazingly well preserved all the way through the log. This piece was found in a remote corner of the caldera while exploring - it's not from one of the more often dug sites.This exceptional and unique slab comes from one of Oregon's premier petrified wood deposits known to collectors the world over. If you don't have a specimen from this area, this would be a dandy to get you acquainted!! This specimen has been carefully polished to show off all the gemmy detail inside. It took a beautiful polish and has excellent gem color! It's another one of those beautiful fossil treasures that some happy Sticks-in-Stones customer is going to flip over! This rip cut slab measures about 17 1/2" x 14" wide and is cut approx. 1" thick. Display stand shown is sold separately. Weight is 18.5 lbs. A nice, unique naturally wonderful stone collectible exclusively from Sticks-in-Stones Lapidary.
