Saddle Mountain in Washington State is a world-famous location for petrified wood hunting. It has well-preserved and high-quality petrified wood, with most containing good wood pattern and keeping the original shapes of limbs and trees. It's often white, grey, brown, and is often mostly fracture-free. All of the Saddle Mountain petrified wood we have currently comes from an old stock estate sale, with estimates that it was dug closer to the 1980s and 1990s.
WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL
The opal cap combined with windows into the body suggest this should reveal striking pattern when cut. A cutter-grade piece from this world-famous Washington locality.
