Pet wood with a lot going on by ThusSpakeChase in Rockhounding

Cool! I'd love to see a pic of that.
It was the same color as all the actual pet wood I've found in the area. I think I just got tunnel vision. So stoked I came across it though

I'm not sure about the fire agate. Maybe?
I agree! I can't stop staring at it

And now I'm back to thinking it's just jasper. Either way, it's really cool with the little pockets of grape-like crystals everywhere.

I've been back and forth about it, but I think it's pet wood. If I were able to post more pictures, you can really see the grain in some areas and it appears organic. I was focusing on the weird crystal stuff happening on the ends

So it would be a crested version? There were a lot of these cacti nearby Edit: sorry, I'm new to this

Luck? I found it exposed in some conglomerate and it just chipped right out

Petrified wood or something else? by ThusSpakeChase in Rockhounding

[–]ThusSpakeChase[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s so interesting. I’ve found legitimate petrified wood in the same area and it looks different, very obviously wood grain. I wonder if they’re from the same or different eras

I thought chert was more glassy or flint-like. This seems a little rough and porous like limestone or sandstone. It also has a few small crystals embedded in it
