From the Miocene epoch of the Cenozoic era, about 15 million years old.
McDermitt is a small remote little town in northern Nevada that straddles the Nevada/Oregon state line along Hwy 95. It is one of the best rockhounding sites in the western U.S. Beautiful petrified wood, as well as a variety of other minerals, are found in both Nevada and Oregon along the state line. Much of it is BLM land and is still open to rockhounding today.
High quality Petrified Wood is found on Disaster Peak, to the southwest of McDermitt.
Disaster Peak is located in the Trout Creek Mountains and was named after an 1864 confrontation between prospectors and the Paiutes.
Metaphysical Properties: Petrified Wood is a stone of patience and slow and steady growth.
