  • Merry Christmas--Rock People! Just in time for the holiday season, here is a special petrified Christmas "rock tree"--decorated with colorful rock and mineral ornaments! It features a large piece of petrified wood, with the following rocks and minerals (using 360 degree photography): wedges of pyrite "suns" (from Illinois), various pyrite cubes and crystals, native copper, lepidolite, sulfur, malachite, olivine, kyanite, Lake Superior agate, blue lace agate, amazonite, tiger's eye, amethyst, biotite, specular hematite, talc, orthoclase, muscovite, plagioclase, quartz, gypsum (selenite), and various color ambers. Can you identify them? Don't worry--I will help you in the video!
    I sincerely thank you all for watching and supporting my new geology education channel. I plan to continue to publish short rock and mineral videos--but intend to include more longer videos in the next year too.
    Have a great holiday! Enjoy family, friends, the outdoors, and rocks! Happy Hollidays!!!

      Ha ha! Good suggestion! Yes, I was thinking about adding miniature tinsel and lights to it. But I thought it may distract from the rocky “good parts” on the petrified tree. Also, I had limited time to put this together before Christmas. Perhaps those extra decorations are an option for next year!
