Good grief. Had to use a crane to move the mother chunk.
Looks like an oak straight out of the woods of Georgia excepting the color.
Had to be a 48 inch saw, and a mouth full at that.

As a kid,I got on our tractor,and pulled a slide we used to roll cows on that were down,and drove by the creeks on our place. It was all I could do to roll the large pet wood chunks up the creek banks onto the slide.The large gray piece is the largest I found,and a favorite. Over 55 years ago brought it home.  snuffy |

The town of Rio Grande Texas has a wall made out of whole logs and stumps found locally.
Texas has some pet wood.

I do not remember if I posted this before or not, if I did, sorry about that. Hickory from the Stinking Water mountains of Oregon.  |

On a whim, I took the UV light to my rocks I came back from AZ with and to my surprise, the pet wood glows quite well.

Can't resist inserting an AZ pet wood specimen or two that strike my fancy.   Did I say two?  |

From this viewpoint this hillock appears to be all petwood (ala Arizona).  But I have to put it in perspective. Here it is sitting on my backyard BBQ. It weighs about 5 lbs and the "mt" is attached to a relatively dull colored base. It came in a take it all purchase from a guy with a thing for AZ wood.  |

Don't want to let this thread get too far down the list. Small piece of a limb from Stinking Water Mountains of Oregon. Oak.  |

This is not my find, but having been playing with Virgin Valley, NV opal of late, makes me appreciate seeing this chunk of conk wood from the site in the NM Tech Geological Museum. It must weigh a pound or two. How many carats is that?  |

Just went through all 24 pages of this thread and, wow, there are some absolutely amazing pieces of petrified wood in this thread! Here's one of my favorite self-collected pieces, from central Alberta, Canada. Most of the wood I find here is brown - sometimes with cool patterns, sometimes with detailed tree rings, but almost always just brown. And usually small, rarely larger than a bar of soap, often just tumble-size. I think I have only found 4 red pieces of petwood over more than a decade. Two of those were tumble size, one was the size of about half a bar of soap, and then there's this one - red and large, a rarity for me on both counts. That's why it's one of my favorites. -Don  |
