4.8" Colorful, Polished Petrified Wood Section - Hubbard Basin

Colorful, Polished Petrified Wood Section - Hubbard Basin #123422

This is a 9.8" long section of very colorful petrified wood from the Hubbard Basin in Nevada. The display side has been polished to a mirror like finish and the bottom is cut flat so that it stands up nicely on a hard surface without the need for a display stand.

Found only in Elko County, Nevada, Hubbard Basin petrified wood is becoming increasingly popular with collectors. 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. One of the main reasons collectors enjoy this petrified wood is because the growth rings are often nicely preserved and show through the vibrant patterns.
