Logs rarely reach this diameter in this particular forest, and to see such a hefty ancient log infused with so much blue agate is just a treat for your eyes as much as for your imagination! This one is particularly unusual because the hollow chamber that was adjacent to the log was filled with stalactites of tube agate instead of the more typical botryoidal agate more often seen in this formation. The final result was a log accented with some of the most dramatic pale blue agate and yellow calcite formations you’ll ever see! This famous petrified forest gives up few large logs and fewer still in this kind of flawless condition! The large hole in this one is a feature that was part of the log before it petrified. I’m at a loss to explain it as it is considerably larger than any insect boring I’ve ever seen in this forest but the condition of the rest of the log does not suggest it was the result of decay either. The rich blue agate and yellow calcite floating in it is one of the most visually striking specimens I’ve ever seen come from this amazing valley! Polished to perfection, it’s definitely one of the best Wyoming petrified wood fossil finds you’ll find!! Here’s an absolutely museum grade Blue Forest petrified round cut from the center of a perfectly formed log that’s got a lot of brilliantly colored blue agate showing throughout the perfectly preserved log frozen inside. It’s got really nice wood preservation with a very well defined heart in the center of the log and the most stunning wood grain you’ll ever see in one of these pieces! 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 center of larger than average 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 radial wood grain 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 a full 8″ across the polished face and is sliced about 0.42″ thick. This fine slab weighs in at 1.70 lbs. A nice, unique naturally wonderful stone collectible exclusively from Sticks-in-Stones Lapidary.
