This is unpolished, and has only been washed with a water hose before the pics are taken. I personally found this petrified oak while hiking the Texas Gulf Coast known as the Post Oak Savanna Region (see TX pic). One of several pieces found together from the same petrified oak tree. The pictures and video speak for them themselves. I know it is oak, and think it’s burl (based on the few pics I have seen of petrified burl). If burl this is a very rare specimen, even more so at this size (could not find anything close to this size for reference). I have never seen anything even closely resembling this in my wanderings. You can take a look at some of my other current auctions to see what the agatiztion under the surface layer may look like (they all came from same tree). Here is a quick video displaying the piece. I love exploring and hiking the less traveled outdoors, and out exploring every week. Watch my auctions for fossils, relics, antiques, and petrified wood I find while hiking the wild areas of Texas.
