This one is an absolute one of a kind! It's cut from a uniquely red and gold colored Hubbard Basin log that was compressed into this flattened profile while buried deep in the earth for eons! The log face is very gemmy and shows the wood grain structure very well, particularly on the husk of the stone. There's even a nicely preserved knot right in the side of the log. It makes for one amazing fossil gemstone display! One of the most interesting shades colors I've seen in even the most colorful Hubbard Basin specimens I've offered! This is cut from a museum class petrified log with an amazing external weathered wood grain surface that is almost sharp to the touch like coral!! This mantle piece is really a remarkable natural treasure and essential artwork - one you'll be proud to show off!
This is really an excellent, very high quality fossil specimen from Nevada's Hubbard Basin. The wood found there is some of the most colorful in the world, rivaling the popular Arizona specimens in color variety, but tending more toward blue & gold than red. They are superior to the Arizona specimens in wood grain preservation. This wood grain and color combination is unique in the petrified wood world and is what makes this location one of the most sought after among wood collectors. These pieces have a very high agate content so the specimens always take a fantastic polish that flashes like a mirror in the sunlight! This piece is high grade, even for Hubbard Basin - it has a really rich, dark blue agate with wispy golds & reds accented with spiderwebs of black! All of the color patterns accent the wood grain details that follow the growth rings of the original tree! There's even a few hints of other hues to really set the colors off! The agate is translucent enough that the colored mineral regions appear to form plumes that grow deep into this ancient fossil, disappearing down into the glassy surface. It's cut to stand erect and show the entire cross section of the log. It's a lot harder to do this and make it come out right but this one really shows off the wood in grand style! 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! The base is cut flat and then the face is cut at a sloping angle to make for easy display. Our stand-ups are always cut from larger, heavier pieces of petrified wood that can safely be handled and not present any serious risk of breakage. This is a great, larger size, 3D display piece - would look great on a mantle or a desk. Measures about 10" x 3 1/4" wide across the mirror polished face. it stands about 6 3/4" tall. Weight is about 6 lbs. Another Sticks-in-Stones Lapidary quality stone collectible from eBay's Original Rockshop! I accept payments from anyone with a credit card at PayPal - always FREE!
