The club I'm a member of hosted a gem and mineral show a few weeks ago. I didn't realize when I showed up to volunteer the day before that I would have Early Access to the pile of rocks at the club was selling. Everything was $2 a pound. I got a lot of nice petrified wood. I cut this yesterday it is some of the first stuff that I slabbed up.

Yeah, I really like it. Thinking about making at least one a specimen slab and polishing as is.

It might be. I was thinking Cold Mountain but I'm not sure.

Absolutely stunning!

It's freakin' gorgeous! I love both materials...and this one looks like a good one!
