ok we fell in love with the petrified forest in mississippi. click on the thumbnails to see better. this will definitely be one of my regular stops from now on when i go to jackson. they had all kinds of rough rock for sell as well as the petrified wood. on the way home my husband asked could we stop and let him slab a piece of the pet. wood. i'd been sitting over there trying to figure out how to get him to do that before we headed to the house lol. i think he's almost properly hooked to the slab saw.

Depends though on whether youre running any pop-up stoppers or such.

I love that you can control the end product, less time for more texture, more for more shine. I'm SOOOO green right now. ;D cookie

Thanks for sharing this wonderful place with us Kim.
I had a clubnight tonight and we had a geologist as a speaker. Talked about tha big earthquake and tsunami . He also told us that there is a newly found petrified forest not too distant from here in a river. Will have to ask the local farmer if I can cross his land to have a look at it.
We can also expect a big quake on the alpine fault since the last big one here was in 1717. All the older trees in that area had their tops broken at that violent time.

That does look like a great area to find rocks. I imagine if you had stopped along side the road outside of the national park you would have found some wonderful rock. Tami
