FJD OR 23. Hoo Doo Basin. Miocene. Elm. Full round log section, cut and polished on one end and otherwise all natural. Gorgeous Hoo Doo colors and preservation. Exciting under magnification. 6 by 9.5 cm polished face; 11 cm tall; two pounds and five ounces. $550
OR 66. Sweet Home . Full round hardwood slice. Mineralization is NOT typical Sweet Home. When I first saw this wood, I thought it was from Wyoming’s Blue Forest or Eden Valley, but I was mistaken. The Sweet Home area has produced a wide variety of wood. Most is rather dull but often a fractureless full round, but a small percentage resides at the apex of attractively mineralized wood. This is one. Riddled with borer tunnels. Another great one under magnification. Well preserved structures in places. Blue agate. 6 by 8.5 cm mirror-polished polished face; one cm thick; 3.5 ounces. $60
