    • @KOIstories
      @KOIstories  6 лет назад +1

      Hi! Green is a rare color for petrified wood but there are some green specimens. Look closer and try to find patterns resembling regular wood - lines, dots. Sometimes, a piece of agate could be from the petrified wood but if it small and no wood-like structures are preserved, it''s really impossible to tell. They way scientists identify species is to polish a piece and take high magnification picture in search for cellular structures.

    I just dragged a boulder int my yard, I think its at leas 200kg its 40cm tall and 50 cm wide or more it looks like 30% of a tree trunk but it has termite holes in it, should I grind those out? they go pretty deep at least 6 cm. Its black with whit spots quartz I'm in Southern ontario.

    • @KOIstories
      @KOIstories  3 года назад

      Hi! the best thing you can do with petrified wood it's to polish. But you need tools and knowledge how to do it. From my perspective (don't take it as an advice), I would just wash it and add the rock to landscaping. If you see that the piece is solid and does not fall apart, you can explore possibilities of making "a window" (grind and polish a spot on the top or on the side to reveal the internal structure). Something like this (follow link below). You will not sell it for that much, obviously, but it may end up looking cool.

I would highly recommend to join thefossilforum community where you can get help from very knowledgeable professionals and hobbyists (www.thefossilforum.com). Post you pictures and you will have much more chances than with us to get the correct answer, may be even people who knows details about the specific locality. We have account there (KOI).

    How rare is chromium specimens of petrified wood? Is it better to leave as is or slab and polish?

    • @KOIstories
      @KOIstories  6 лет назад +2

      Most of the petrified wood is better to be polished but it takes time and equipment. I would probably brought the specimen to a gem show and ask people with experience in lapidary work. They will be able to tell you if cutting/polishing is worth an effort in case of your specimen. Some people claim that chromium petrified wood is rare but I also heard that only few locations produce such specimens and in majority of the cases legality of collecting is under question. The rarity also depends on size, location and preservation. Make sure the mineral composition is indeed chromium and DO NOT RUSH to cut.

    • @KOIstories
      @KOIstories  4 года назад

      Hi, I'm not quite sure what do you mean under "de SAP tubings" but most of petrified wood consists of silica with variations like quartz (SiO2), chalcedony (SiOH), agate ( cryptocrystalline silica) etc.
      Inclusions such as (S, Fe, Mn, C) give the color. The content of petrified wood depends on surrounding rock matrix. Nothing especially valuable except the fact that it can preserve cellular structure of an organism that lived hundreds of million years ago.

      @@santiagorestrepo6339 Hi! It's "petrified" wood meaning that it's not regular wood anymore. It is stone now. No organic material is preserved. Cellulose was replaced with silica. The content of sapwood (salts or organic molecules) was either dissolved (salts) or degraded into simple elements and diffused out. The space was gradually taken by silica-containing minerals that were previously dissolved in ground water and deposited/crystallized keeping the form of plant structures. At least, this is how I understand the process. Good luck!
