This is arguably the single finest petrified log we’ve ever offered from Wyoming’s famous Blue Forest! This 100% complete and perfectly preserved log has tons of translucent blue agate surrounding the perfectly preserved petrified log inside. These logs with the botryoidal blue agate coating them are what gave this famed forest it’s name! It’s very difficult to find one like this anymore but we picked this one up in an old collection last year and are just now getting it out for viewing. The exterior typical of the finest examples of logs found at this site and the mirror polished top of the log reveals exceptionally blue agate that appears to glow! This is actually a stump that flares out to several roots at the base – another rare treat seldom found at this site! We acquired this piece in an estate sale and refinished the top to meet our (and your) lapidary standards. I only recently found the time to rework what was a very poor finish to polish it properly and reveal the magnificent treasure contained inside! The blue agate pattern laced through the wood grain is as nice as you’re ever going to see! There’s more color and pattern in this one than most by far and it’s an extra large, fully in tact piece to boot. It’s a gorgeous and fascinating natural fossil treasure and a true museum piece! It’s cut as a standing sculpture with a flat base and very slightly sloped face ready to display as it sits! Here’s an absolutely remarkable petrified wood log from a larger sized tree that was preserved in Wyoming’s Blue Forest petrified wood deposit. This one is beyond nice – I’ve never seen its equal in a museum and only the most dedicated Blue Forest collectors have pieces of this caliber in their own collections. It has a really interesting, perfectly preserved feathered wood grain surface, and lots of agate surrounding it. This one has an extremely well defined, highly polished agate face with some of the prettiest, high contrast wood I’ve ever seen in one of these logs. Most of these specimens are pepper wood, and this finely preserved fossil is consistent with those. There is more than enough detail captured here for the hobby hound or paleobotanist to easily classify it. This nice log is really a choice specimen from this location. This wood comes from a sagebrush desert 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 rich, coffee and black 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! There are also multiple openings near the “bark” that have filed in with golden calcite which just looks beautiful in contrast to the rich blue agate. Much of the exterior is still coated in the fossil algae that preserved these ancient treasures in a long lost tropical swamp. This is a good sized section from the end of a very large log. It’s just under 10″ tall and measures roughly 3 1/2″ x 2 7/8 across the mirror polished face. The base of the log flares to about 8 1/2 wide at the roots. The log weighs about 16 lbs. It has been cut and polished on our specially built lapidary equipment to produce a mirror perfect, unparalleled shine to show off all the gemmy detail and spectacular fossil beauty inside. It really took a pretty awesome polish even by our unmatched standards! A nice, unique naturally wonderful stone collectible exclusively from Sticks-in-Stones Lapidary.
