BREATHTAKING 13" Saddle Mountain Kinky Fossil Conifer Petrified Wood Slab

This is a truly unique and absolutely mind blowing petrified wood slab cut from an ancient fossil conifer from Washington State's Saddle Mountain. This kinky, contorted wood grain is what remains from the stump section of a giant petrified log excavated from the volcanic flows buried millions of years ago at this site. Much of the wood found at Saddle Mtn. is formed in the violent aftermath of volcanic events that left a lot of distorted stumps entombed in ash to petrify into the artistic gemstones we find now. This is old stock material that came from an estate that collected it over many years. This thick slab has been cut across the grain to produce an unparalleled display of natural gem fossil art. The finished result is one of the most visually appealing display pieces from this fabulous source I've ever handled! This beautifully detailed display specimen is cut from a petrified log specimen carved from a fragment of what must have been an enormous ancient conifer tree! Th
