I can see why you were excited about all of them. The ones with fractures will sink somewhat in your eyes as you work up the rest. The pet wood with the white highlights may not be super high on the resale scale but it can make some wonderful lapidary material and is always worth working on. I can tell you are having fun .

Picture #19 of the petrified wood. In the lower right hand corner there are two mushrooms. You need to cut a cab and capture those.

Continue on! Thank you! I am having a blast with these, especially the nodules- each one is a veritable lotto win. I found the white wood two weeks ago near Graveyard Point and brought home a bunch thinking it would be chalky and mediocre. Boy was I wrong- that stuff's just as solid as the agate nodules! Can't wait to get some polished up, it has lots of fun patterns. Cheers!! |

One piece has em all the way through so I'll try to capture it. Will share results Some of those nodules are basically "purple cow" or "amethyst sage" but in agatized, nodule form. Your helping me previously identify Totem Jasper helped me with these other goodies I've been finding. So, thank you mucho  |

These are all graveyard point area finds? The purple dendritic stuff looks like amethyst sage. Or am I just misunderstanding what I’m reading?

#10, is that Oregon Sunset Jasper? I’ve been wanting to get some of that, the pinks and yellows are beautiful.

I'm not sure what that one is, to be honest... it was a huge chunk I don't even remember picking up  . It appears to be more agate-y and the slices are translucent so I don't think it's a jasper but upon looking up Oregon Sunset they are strikingly similar. I'll share more as I go |
