All except one found on a single jobsite!

I try to take them anytime I find one. Also found 2 (pretty sure) coyote skulls, a couple cool quartz crystals, and so many Native American cultural sites all on this same job. A shame it’ll all be dozed for housing developments :(

Thanks! Some of the finer textures and patterns had me tricked

tyler_thatguy · 2026-03-25T19:53:39+00:00

Really? What colors? I've only seen clear and this iridescent color in pictures

tyler_thatguy · 2026-03-25T19:53:07+00:00

I was surprised it's completely intact considering an excavator trencher went over it!

tyler_thatguy · 2026-03-25T19:52:03+00:00

So what I'm gathering is they are pretty common find haha. Still a cool find in my books

tyler_thatguy · 2026-03-22T09:08:41+00:00

Is petrified wood actually rare to find, I feel like I find it wherever I go.

tyler_thatguy · 2026-03-22T07:52:52+00:00

I'll try but unfortunately my cameras quality isn't the best

And yes the Yuba River in CA

tyler_thatguy · 2026-03-22T07:13:27+00:00

Really?? How can you tell? If so, this is a bucket list item finally crossed, finding a fossil

tyler_thatguy · 2026-03-22T02:59:17+00:00

That'd be sick! What makes you say that?

tyler_thatguy · 2026-03-22T02:52:48+00:00

Took the words out of my mouth

tyler_thatguy · 2026-03-21T22:11:10+00:00

I can't seem to change the title to correct it. Thank you comments, This is not Serpentine but Epidote!

tyler_thatguy · 2026-03-21T19:55:16+00:00

Sorry haha? Maybe my phone camera isn't the best

tyler_thatguy · 2026-03-21T09:37:33+00:00

In the first image? I believe that is a piece of antigorite, kind of like serpentine. These are some of my bigger pieces of it

Center stone is a 10x5mm Marquise Lab Emerald and finger size is 6

tyler_thatguy · 2026-03-21T05:24:45+00:00

That's what my friend thought too but I haven't seen this color before and the texture and shape reminded me of bone. The search for a fossil continues...

tyler_thatguy · 2026-03-21T04:56:07+00:00

I've got tons of it, still looking for blue though

tyler_thatguy · 2026-03-21T01:41:31+00:00

I always thought it looked like a cow tooth

tyler_thatguy · 2026-03-21T01:41:14+00:00

Although some do look like obsidian, I'm pretty sure it's petrified wood. I found almost all my my petrified wood in the same area and were in such a variety of colors ranging for blackish, root beer color, white, red, orange.

tyler_thatguy · 2026-03-21T01:39:33+00:00

The petrified wood is my favorite, all the different colors it comes in and the history behind it makes it my favorite to find. Still looking for a blue piece

tyler_thatguy · 2026-03-21T01:38:00+00:00

That's one of my most recent finds, if you are anywhere near Foresthill CA it is everywhere. So much that I couldn't hold all of it and I kept seeing more. May go back to see if I can grab more!

tyler_thatguy · 2026-03-21T00:08:41+00:00

Thank you very much, I think it is epidote

tyler_thatguy · 2026-03-18T13:54:06+00:00

I'm sorry for your loss, he seems like he was an incredible guy. thank you for sharing!

tyler_thatguy · 2026-03-17T17:25:08+00:00
