FJD WASH 10. Museum specimen Cypress Root from Saddle Mountain, WA. Columbia River Basalt Flows, Miocene. Cut and polished on one end and otherwise natural. Full round with a killer polished face and a gnarled, interesting exterior. Very hard and solid. It’s nice all around– super glassy and about perfect. A dream under magnification.
