    Description

    Petrified Wood Slab
    Schinoxylon
    Blue Forest
    Wyoming
    8.74 x 6.29 x 0.44 inches (22.20 x 16.00 x 1.14 cm)

    The first thing one should notice about this piece of Petrified Wood is how different it looks from most. It resembles an abstract painting. This rare wood seems more like an agate slice than a slab of Petrified Wood, but, in this case, it is both. The original organic material has been replaced with blue agate in the area between the woody stem and bark in this Schinoxylon specimen from the famed Blue Forest of Wyoming. There are also cavities of drusy clear Quartz and yellow Quartz crystals. This "Frankenstein" wood, if you will, is simply breathtaking!

    [Scale: 1 inch, with mark at 1 cm]
