HAMPTON BUTTE - Approximately 10"+/- Oregon Teal Green Petrified Wood Round - SUPER COLORFUL!
This is a nice, larger sized and unusually tinted green Hampton Butte round with a neat variety of colors and crazy wood grain! Though this is a vast and productive petrified forest, good rounds with nice color are a rare treat as most of what is found is incomplete and highly jasperized. This teal green shade is one of the most prized and rare of all the colors that ...are found in this amazing petrified wood deposit. You simply don't get many chances at color like this in petrified wood from anywhere else on the planet. Like most wood casts found at this site, the stone is slightly porous and takes an inconsistent polish, but the folks we purchased this from made it all it can be, ready to be shown in your collection!Arguably one of the most well known and interesting petrified wood deposits in Oregon is the "Green Wood" deposit at Hampton Butte in Central Oregon. This wood is more jasperized than agatized and is often more of a cast than a wood replacement, though exceptions to both of these are certainly found. The logs are more often than not fairly fractured, but the colors are unmatched anywhere else. The dominant color is green - REALLY GREEN! These are accented with white, yellow, red, orange and other classic jasper tones - but green is what it's all about if you're looking for a good Hampton Butte specimen. Not every piece will polish well, and they don't all look an awful lot like wood, but a good specimen is tough to beat and a must have for any serious petrified wood collection - or even if you just happen to love green!This round is kind of tough to get a good photo of, but the color is pretty true on my monitor. It's a fairly green stone with an almost khaki hue. It stands out as an amazing natural specimen in a color rarely found elsewhere. There's a ton of white agate inclusions throughout the rock. It's got a pretty high agate concentration and took a reasonable polish.The piece is quite solid and meant to be handled. A quick squirt of windex will remove fingerprints from the glassy polished surface.It measures approximately 10x10" and is sliced about 0.75" thick. Weight is about 3+/- lbs.PLEASE NOTE: The first 3 pics are of the front side that has a polished / glossy finish. The last 4 pics are of the back side that has an unpolished, matte-like finish.
