Description
Eden Valley Wyoming Blue Forest polished, signed petrified wood + chalcedony + opal.I believe this is Schinoxylon Actinosporosum, very common here in Wyoming. Much of the petrified wood from the Blue Forest is this species.
Super nice sample, measures 3 1/2" in length, stands 4" tall. Depth varies, from 1.5 " to 2".
Weight is 14 ounces or just a little less than 400 grams.
Polished on the face. The bottom is cut to flat, unpolished, and is signed Eddie ? (Last name illegible)
Lovely opalization on the right side, center blue chalcedony vein, drifting down to a small calcite (fluorescent) vug near the center bottom and botroidal material on the bottom right side.
The botroids range from a dark peach-amber to brown to black. I couldn't see any fire on them but interestingly one or two were broken to reveal a tiny single crystal in them. They're so small they were difficult to photograph but they are clear, possibly Dodecahedron shape. I found them fascinating :-)
Please reach out for more photos if required.
This is pretty much my first foray into mineral sales on eBay. I've been a lifelong collector and have to downsize.
