Product Description
Petrified Wood Polished Stone Slab Hubbard Basin Nevada
This is a gorgeous highly agatized and slightly translucent polished wood round that has been sliced and polished on one face, natural rough on the back.
It is Petrified Wood from Elko County, Nevada, in an area known as Hubbard Basin.
The natural Petrified Wood stone slab is 6 inches and by 3.9 inches wide and about 1/4 to 1/2 thick.
It is not quite a perfect full round as the right side tip is slightly cut off.
This variety of petrified wood is characterized by its tan or white-blue coloring that is often enhanced by red, orange, or brown patterns. Most Hubbard Basin Petrified wood is Miocene-aged fossilized spruce wood.
The Petrified Wood formed when the tree died and was buried by sediments. Minerals in the groundwater then permeated the wood, replacing the original organic matter and turning it to stone. The main mineral is silica, but trace elements in the silica create a variety of colors.
Metaphysical Properties: Petrified Wood is a stone of patience and slow and steady growth.
