This is just an incredible display of 100% natural color preserving an ancient petrified spruce log!! This natural stone sculpture is cut from a gem grade petrified log with an amazing external weathered wood grain surface and beautiful, solid agate on the inside. The growth rings are very visible through the nearly the entire specimen and there are even some really pretty, sparkling drusy crystal lined cavities exposed in the cut face. This is one of the best values we’ve offered all year on a piece this beautiful and this large! You get dark, inky blue swirled with sky blue, rust, white, yellow, gold, gray and black with awesome wood grain details in this gem grade agate! One of the biggest and prettiest we’ve done this year, you’ll love how gorgeous the mirror polished face of this stone really is! The more light you get into this one, the richer the colors get!! I think the exterior of this piece is as fascinating as the gorgeous, deep blue agate face is!! This mantle or desk piece is really a remarkable natural treasure and essential art work – one you’ll be proud to show off! This is really an excellent, very high quality fossil specimen from Nevada’s Hubbard Basin. The wood found there is some of the most colorful in the world, rivaling the popular Arizona specimens in color variety, but tending more toward blue & gold than red. They are superior to the Arizona specimens in wood grain preservation. This wood grain and color combination is unique in the petrified wood world and is what makes this location one of the most sought after among wood collectors. These pieces have a very high agate content so the specimens always take a fantastic polish that flashes like a mirror in the sunlight! This piece is high grade, even for Hubbard Basin – it has a really rich, dark blue agate with wispy golds & reds accented with spider webs of black! All of the color patterns accent the wood grain details that follow the growth rings of the original tree! There’s even a few hints of other hues to really set the colors off! The agate is translucent enough that the colored mineral regions appear to form plumes that grow deep into this ancient fossil, disappearing down into the glassy surface. It’s cut to stand erect and show the entire cross section of the log. It’s a lot harder to do this and make it come out right but this one really shows off the wood in grand style! This stone has been professionally cut and polished on a special lap that produces a flat face and a mirror perfect shine. The polish really is liquid perfect – a difference in the quality products Sticks-in-Stones has built its reputation on! The base is cut flat and then the face is cut at a sloping angle to make for easy display. Our stand-ups are always cut from larger, heavier pieces of petrified wood that can safely be handled and not present any serious risk of breakage. This is a great, larger size, 3D display piece – would look great on a mantle or a desk. Measures about 6 1/2″ tall and is just under 8″ wide across the mirror polished face at the widest point.
