SiS: DRAMATIC ANCIENT FOSSIL CONIFER Petrified Wood Bookends - Saddle Mtn. Wash.

This gorgeous set of bookends is one of the most dramatic, interesting and glassy larger sized sets we have cut from this type of petrified wood.  It represents one of the most perfectly fossilized and most uniquely colored Washington State petrified wood logs we've come across in quite some time.  This fossil wood turned stone comes from the Saddle Mountain area in Central Washington.  It's a beautiful specimen with great growth rings and finely detailed wood structure under magnification in pleasing naturally warm colors.  This one is from what appears to be a relative of modern bald cypress trees and the contorted, kinky edge of the log is fairly typical of how these giant trunks formed.  Each one unique and fascinating and capable of producing a true work of natural art!  The wood structure is intricately preserved and easily studied with the naked eye and even magnification to reveal fine growth detail.  The mirror polish is world class and really brings this stone to life.
