Polished Petrified Wood.

[Douglas Sherman]

This is a piece of petrified wood from Petrified Forest National Park that has been cut and polished. It is from my personal collection. I just photographed it this morning for a friend who is contemplating buying some of his own. All of the colors are various states of oxidized iron except the black which is manganese dioxide.

Nice example of why folks have been cutting and polishing petrified wood for decades (and possibly a lot longer than that).

Thanks, Alan. One of my professors and I were combing the Chinle Formation for pieces of petrified wood on the Navajo Reservation for one of his studies about how the wood was formed. I just stumbled on one of the prettiest pieces I have ever seen. Here is small section of it.

I love the close up here - an even better abstract. A different kind of Rock Art

Very cool Doug! What amazing colors! And I can attest to the how amazing your collection of rocks and things are. I have seen in person just a small portion and you have some great items there.
