Hells Canyon petrified wood cab ~
Offered here is a PRIMO cabochon of petrified wood, an unsual and rare form from Hell's Canyon near the Idaho/Oregon border. (Read more about it on my blog.) The species is said to be sequoia, showing fascinating wavy herringbone pattern. Great contrasting lines, each representing a year's seasonal growth in the once-living tree. It also has an awesome pattern of holes, lined with translucent milky, clear or bluish agate, or (common) opal. Most are filled solid, while a few others go through to the backside. They look a lot like tiny thundereggs, complete with fortifications, in a wild array of shapes. Be sure to click to enlarge the photos to see the details. I'm no expert on pet wood, but this material seems opalized, and it certainly is GORGEOUS! This cab has a well rounded dome of 6mm, a gracefully curved designer drop shape, and a slick glassy polish both front and back.
