As for the pet wood, all I know is that it is Arizona pet wood. I've never seen Arizona rainbow. Looks very similar to some I tumbled awhile ago. Maybe there are different varieties though? maybe someone will chime in. forum.rocktumblinghobby.com/thread/67623/rainbow-pet-wood-lakersChuck

@drummond Island Rocks - Alot of the stones in your thread look very similar. Mine just don't show a whole lot of that incredible banding as shown in your pictures. Only a couple of mine show that nice wood grain.
I Might send a lot of mine back into extra coarse grind after shaving to get a more rounded shape, then polish in the Lot O.

That pet wood I posted was impossible to try to get perfect. The material is just naturally very fractured so the further I ground them down more fractures would appear. It sure does take a heck of a shine though. Chuck

I saw many hair fractures in the larger rocks and I thought I did something wrong an that's another reason why I wanted to send many back in but I was going to break some at the fracture point into smaller pieces so they weren't destroying themselves. The shine is incredible on these. I'm very pleased about that.
