you made my day, someone had put a completely ilogical thing about noahs ark sayin in less than 4000 years wood could be petrified so i liked and subbed
Thanks you so much. Out of all the YT videos I have searched on minerals and crystallized stone. I have never found one with so much Useful information. Thank you again. I also search the local library briefly
Hi April! Thanks for the nice comment! My pleasure. Making videos informative is top priority for our channel and it's heartwarming to know that this is being appreciated. Check out another video of ours about petrified wood czcams.com/video/who5wQRQJWc/video.html
Hi Jason. Glad you liked it. Check out our more recent videos (links are in the description). We constantly add new cool stuff to our collection of petrified wood (and other fossils). Here is most recent one: czcams.com/video/q2Z-PHaf46A/video.html
I love how in depth you go with the information and history. You showed some fantastic specimens . I never knew some PW doesn't have ro gs because it grew without seasons. Thank you so much, I will have to rewatch this video to soak in all that Information. I subscribed and look forward to your other videos, keep up the great work. 👍🏼🇳🇿
Hi, Tripping on Rocks! I'm happy that you liked the video and thank you so much for the comment. Sometimes, I feel like "what am I doing? who needs this?" But comments like yours keep me afloat emotionally. Here is our most recent video about petrified wood "czcams.com/video/who5wQRQJWc/video.html". Thanks again and stay safe!
Your a smart one, aren't you. Thanks for the awesome presentation. It was pretty informative. I think someone has a future in television. Keep it up, and you'll go far. I too have a very big interest in fossils.
Aloha, found a specimen in Hawaii in the round shape of a bracelet. The root ball is jasper the rest is the tree itself petrified the color a deep chestnut & I do wear it
Thanks for the nice comment. We have a video about one of the localities but most of the good ones are protected. So, the best place would be Ebay or gem shows. It will also save you from headache associated with polishing specimens because petrified wood is at its best when polished.
Great video and very educational. I am very impressed with how well you did on this subject, so much so that I just had to become a subscriber. Looking forward to watching some more from this channel GD
Thank you s-o-o-o much! We focus on making informative videos. Most of them short but packed with interesting facts. We have plenty more newer videos about natural curiosities and p-wood in particular. I hope you will enjoy watching them. Cheers!
Very Bright young lady, perhaps one day She can prove or disaprove the claims that Devils Tower etc are Giant tree Trunks, and her collection would be Branches.
Yes,I love minerals and crystals, I just said goodby to my huge and very heavy trunk, on the stairs from 4 floor! Mine was the colour of amber ,in different shades of golden colours. It will stay strong for the next million of years. 💫🏔💫
An excellent presentation! However, for the sake of correctness, the word Chalcedony is not pronounced "Chall-see-doe-nee" like all us Texans say, but is correctly pronounced "Kal-sed-nee." Keep the videos coming!
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.
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. Stay safe and good luck! www.amazon.com/Petrified-Wood-30lbs-Authentic-Fossilized/dp/B07RQMZJHZ
Now I have more questions. Is the petrification process 'atom by atom' or is it more on the molecular level, molecule by molecule? There is a huge size difference. And another question, these were not modern tree species. Were they even trees?
Hi! Both tree ferns and palms do not have "wood". You can call them trees if you think that a tree is a long-living and tall plant. I like to divide plants into grass, shrubs and trees based on size. Scientists may have different opinion. Considering that most petrified wood contains mainly silica (SiO2) in crystalline form, it's probably molecule by molecule, although, in case of crystals, it's hard to tell if a particular atom belongs to certain molecule. So, you may say that atom are building blocks. Anyway, watch the video below. Perhaps, it will improve your understanding and appreciation of the complexity of the structure. czcams.com/video/QKNLYS-vEsw/video.html
I am in Massachusetts and I’m new to petrified wood although I have been rock hounding since I was a child. I have recently found my first two pieces I think of petrified wood. By any chance do you folks have an email that a video or pictures could be sent to to help me identify petrified wood here in Massachusetts? I’m almost positive but an expert opinion would really be helpful. Thank you.
Hi Prevent PA, we are not experts by any means. 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). There is a petrified wood group on Facebook as well: facebook.com/groups/436330426424122/ Good luck!
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.
Firstly thank you kindly for such an informative video, but I also have a question. I have a glassy black Rock with brown mixed in and a green oily shine to it,would this also be petrafied wood?
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.
Hi, the shipping cost could be a problem. I would try local (yard sale, Craiglist, Facebook market place). Do not expect to get much. When uncut and unpolished, it's just a rock, unless you have a highly agatized and colorful piece. Good luck!
So the one with the pine petrified wood can you tell the age of the tree when you saw it by the rings that might show up and the petrified that takes place? ✝️✡️
Yeah... You are right. Sorry for that. It's not the word you hear every day and I do not really remember where I picked up that pronunciation. Could it be here: czcams.com/video/LM044SZo_x4/video.html
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!
Hi Warren. Thank you for the comment. Your feedback is much appreciated. I'm learning and will work on improving the quality of my videos. What kind of information do you think would be more appropriate in this video that was supposed to introduce people to different kinds of petrified wood?
Pay no attention to Warren...... He's probably a flat earther, nobody else pays attention to him and flaters have very few friends, they are nuts. But thank you for your video it was well done!
Dope collection. Most intelligent sounding child I’ve ever heard.
She's reading a script.
Nice collection and good presentation, thanks.
I learned more from this kid then all the videos of adults combined. Good job kid. Keep up the good work. You're going places.
Thank you!!! I'm glad that you find this video informative despite sooo much time passed since it was created. Cheers!
The kid is reading it.
Videos like this give me hope for the future :D
Thanks, Big Brother. Cheers!
Love the video! My oldest specimen in from 1.2 billion years ago in the Amoxormni species. The color gradient tied to the root structure is amazing
What a Beautiful collection. Totally enjoyed your knowledgable descriptions and great examples. Learned a lot. Thanks!
I'm glad you liked the collection. Good luck!
Amazing collection and very informative video! Thank you for uploading this.

good collection and rubbish info.
bipola telly some people care about the info. Dont like it, dont look.
Great presentation. I love rocks and minerals.
Great video. Very informational. Narrator isnt one bit boring. Thank you you have earned a like and easily taken the cake.
Glad you enjoyed it!
That tree fern slice is too cool. Love to have that or something similar in my collections.
What if you find more then wood and who can you you talk to about it
I loved this video and a great narrator! nice collection

"Chalcedony" is pronounced "kal·
