Just joined the forum not to long ago and happened to see this today. I live in whats called the 4 corners area of New Mexico. If anyone happens to know any good locations to find some nice rock around here I would love to hear about it. I have not found to much in them thar hills yet, but I am still looking on a regular basis.

etrowell -
I don't know if you are willing to drive a ways, but west of Nageezi towards the Bisti Badlands there's a spot littered with petrified wood. None of the pieces seem to be massive, but here are some examples of what a friend and I found in about 45 minutes. I still have another 1/2 bucket of other pieces I haven't worked. The better pieces tumble wonderfully.
The site is listed in the Gem Trails of New Mexico book.

If I was in that area again, I'd definitely go back to the spot.

It shows the growth rings real nice. Don

Work in ABQ during the week and go home to Las Cruces most weekends. If you're headed to LC, I can help you find some good places. MaryAnn
