SiS: RARE CRYSTAL CAST Blue Forest Petrified Wood Round - Heel Cut




Item History & Price

Information:
Reference Number: Avaluer:44327364Country/Region of Manufacture: United States
Original Description:
This was an unbelievable end cut in a truly rare and uniquely beautiful natural gem fossil specimen from one of the most collectible of petrified wood deposits around!  This is a slice from a uniquely formed gem fossil wood cast that has been completely replaced by a massive, sparkling crystal quartz cast that is framed now in just the petrified bark of the original tree!  That black ring in the translucent blue agate still shows the wood structure of the original bark that f...loated away from contact with the log in the wet environment it was ultimately preserved in.  The quartz filled the void where the wood itself once occupied.  This can happen when some oxygen is still able to get to the buried wood, allowing it to (partially) decay.  It's a rare sight and we polished this beautiful heal cut on the cut face to reveal all of the story in full detail!
Here's an absolutely museum grade Blue Forest petrified round cut from the end of a perfectly formed log that shows a lot of agate and crystal inside. It's got really nice wood preservation in the bark area and the rest is agate and quartz cast.   The most striking feature in this log slice is that half of it is sparkling clean, brilliant quartz crystals. They form within the confines of a large flowing agate band that itself separates the actual bark of the tree (the dark blue/black band near the edge) from the fossilized limb itself - this is both rare and beautiful - a killer piece that deserves a home where it's rarity and beauty can be truly appreciated! This is very unusual to find in any petrified wood but when frozen in time with the dark colors of Blue Forest wood is really makes an amazing display! This could be a one in a lifetime folks - don't let it get away! The Blue Forest is a uniquely preserved bed of small branches and occasional logs in central Wyoming. The digging is hot and dusty, but every once in a while you stumble on a real treasure and this little log is one of them! The dark, coffee and chocolate colors the wood is preserved in are characteristic of these specimens, as are the infusions of blue agate that filled the cracks and coated the log! This is a perfectly flat slice from the end of a smaller sized log from a pepperwood tree. It's been cut and polished to show off all the gemmy detail from this 50 million year old treasure captured inside. It took a pretty awesome polish - something we strive to produce on every specimen we put our name on! The fibrous cell structure of the bark is exceptional and easily studied with a hand lens. This is a much larger than average specimen, and it is close to perfect - something that will show proudly in any collection. It measures nearly 3 1/8" wide and is a maximum of about 1 1/4" thick.  Weight is 0.36 lbs.A nice, unique naturally wonderful stone collectible exclusively from Sticks-in-Stones Lapidary - eBay's Original Rockshop!
