This 25″ x 9″ carbonized/petrified log is not like any I’ve discovered before. It is jet black in the center, and heavy 80 lbs petrified log, but not hard stone. It’s more like extremely hard dense coal, as if the carbonization has not been fully mineralized??? In my unscientific observation, the material looks, feels, and works very similar to obsidian (volcanic glass).. Yes, I know it not really obsidian. One end piece has been cutoff and polished which was hard enough to cut and polish into a good looking specimen piece.
