This amazing, large round comes from a log that was discovered in Utah’s Henry Mtns. I took this log in as a project from a fellow collector and kept some of the rounds in trade for my lapidary services. I only consider this arrangement when the wood is exceptional and in this case it certainly was! This beautiful piece could be mistaken for a massive Argentina log (and a prime one at that) but it’s a domestic beauty! I’ve never seen one with so many fortification agates in such a nicely preserved and beautifully shaped petrified log! Each of the light colored veins you see in the log is actually fortification agate. The log is very agatized overall and took a beautiful polish. Don’t miss this exceptional value in a larger sized display specimen. Preservation, calor, agate and shape this nice at this price from this prized deposit comes along only rarely! Another one of a kind petrified wood collector dream from Sticks in Stones Lapidary! Here’s an absolutely gorgeous, amazingly colorful petrified wood round cut from a very large log found in Utah. This big plate virtually fracture free and very well preserved. The face was carefully prepared and meticulously polished to produce a mirror finish that really brings all the incredible color variety in this beautiful round to life! I don’t know what species this tree was and I can’t pinpoint the the location other than to say that the fellow who had it said it came from the Henry Mountains in SE Utah. I’ve never seen this color combination in Utah wood before – or any other wood for that matter! Truly unique and absolutely beautiful. Besides being beautifully colored, it’s also perfectly preserved. The flowing wood grain from this complete round starts at the heart and forms massive arcs through every region of this highly colorful wood. The cells are well preserved with virtually every colorful region showing excellent wood grain preservation right down to the ray cells within the growth rings! The detail in the lighter regions is washed out in the photo, but it’s easily visible in the actual stone. I don’t get too many Utah specimens that I go nuts over, but this log will definitely have a slab in my own collection. It’s also priced very affordably for it’s size because I only have labor into producing it.

The piece is quite solid and meant to be handled. A quick squirt of windex will remove fingerprints from the glassy polished surface. 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 that others can only aspire to!
