Two years later I see your video of petrified wood. This helps me really understand the concept of time for wood to become petrified. I have at least a dozen rocks set aside because I couldn’t figure out if it was petrified wood or not. Now I know it’s not, I thank you so much for explaining things to us instead of talking down to us and our knowledge of things. Love your podcasts too!

I don’t care about opinions or to be told I’m wrong about something. It infuriates me. Nit pickers are the worst! Teach me how I’m wrong! Now if you do it in a way that someone can learn something that’s different. I’ve never heard you belittle or talk down to anyone. I like how you give information freely and to be as accurate as you can. Thanks

Another thing to consider when looking at them is that they are all different species of trees which had different hardness and cellular structures

I used it for my aquarium. I love the look of it and how ancient it really is.

Informative. I can see why some people can misidentify some rocks as pet wood. Thanks for trying to educate us.

That made my understanding of petwood so much clearer , thanks mate , I love the way you explain things to people.

Very informative, thank you. I did pick the correct "Not Petrified" but found myself questioning myself! You were trying to trick us and that usually makes me question myself. Fun little adventure.

I have buckets full of petrified wood. If you ever come to Cody, WY I'd take you out where I go daily, too much rain recently though. You'd need a dirt bike or a 4 wheeler. My 4X4 trucks might get out there, but it would be stressful. There's a ton of fossil material, huge gastroliths, a lot of jasper (Red, Green, and Yellow), chalcedony, quartz, carnelion agates, sodalite, aventurine, sugilite, brecciated jasper, jade, gryphaea, ammonites, belemnites, tons of desert rose, and limestone with plant matter inside sometimes fish. I just got into when I bought a dirt bike a couple years ago. I took a spill and landed in a bed of devil's toenails. Everywhere. I was hooked. I hate these rainy days. I should be out there right now.

Well AActuallly!!! haha great video, people in our local groups always mistake the metamorphic rocks for pet wood. When you first start out it can be quite confusing but once you find a piece and understand how it's formed it gets a lot more easy to identify.

Awesome presentation. Your vid made it much easier for me to understand how petrified wood is created. I also guessed the right rocks that were not petrified wood. I am very much a novice when it comes to rocks. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks! I'm doing a sort of refresher/crash course in petrified wood, fossils and a couple other goodies, in preparation for a little presentation (with visual aids from my collection) I'm giving to my son's first grade class. As they've been learning about geology, layers of the earth, volcanoes etc from their awesome teacher.... I suggested letting her use some pieces for visual aids, but she ended up asking if I'd want to come give a little presentation.
Me: sure that'd be fun! (Then the panic sets in..gigglesnort)
Admittedly, I'm struggling with a bit of imposter syndrome.. so it helps calm my nerves and encourage my confidence to keep researching, learning new information and just confirming what I already knew.
Thanks, for sharing so much beauty and information!

I love you saying that they could kick rocks. I admit I am very obsessed with my two favorite gems iolite and sunstone. In 1991 in India they found deposits of intergrown iolite with sunstone and they call it sunstoneiolite. The problem is when iolite has a lot of inclusions of copper or hematite they will describe it as a sunstone effect iolite. The top quality of actual sunstone effect iolite is cheaper then sunstoneiolite of much lower quality just 5% of actual sunstone in the iolite makes the value quite higher. I understand that the term sunstone iolite was used before 1991 when they were found actually grown together into a single gemstone. I have iolite from before 1991 that is described as a commonly known as sunstone iolite in sub description. My issue is that unscrupulous sellers use the term intentionally or don't know that sunstoneiolite exists and frankly when I started collecting I spent around $50k on rough and gems that were misrepresented. Some were a simple mistake most were intentionally misrepresented. I have found countless fake or intentionally misrepresented gemstones on websites especially eBay. Would you please make a video on purchasing and how to avoid fraud or just unknowledgeable sellers. Since that time I have gone back to college for geology and now I'm getting my graduate of gemology. I'm retired I am doing the metallurgy gemology lapidary arts and making jewelry because I love it. It is the only art form that didn't drive me insane trying to learn. My life partner is a artist and practices in multiple mediums my oldest son is a architect and geologist my youngest is a fashion designer and both son's are also professors at a university nearby. I was told by my doctor to find a hobby to keep strength and freedom of movement in my hands I finally started making jewelry and loved it then I thought why am I purchasing gems instead of cutting them myself and so I started do lapidary studies and loved it. So now me and my life partner retired early before fifty. I get to spend my days working in the workshop while she works on her stuff and our son's are often thier at our sides we setup so it would accommodate all of us and could work in the same space and has been some of the most enjoyable years of our lives even though doing our own things working there music playing we get a lot of time bonding with each other. I'm very blessed and I know this. I will for free evaluate people's jewelry and gems and sadly found countless accounts of people being taken advantage of so anyone who deals with things related to gems or rare stones I beg please make a video explaining how to not get ripped off and know what you are purchasing and if it is a fair value. Sorry for spelling grammar mistakes and rambling I had a stroke it effected my writing amongst other things thank you
