Au Seeker Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 It's a blurstone , sorry I could resist, the photo is too blurry for me to try and attempt an ID, especially since I'm only a novice at IDing rocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weaver hillbille Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 You have no idea what you're talking about That's Golden Blurstone It's a blurstone , sorry I could resist, the photo is too blurry for me to try and attempt an ID, especially since I'm only a novice at IDing rocks.

Rimshot Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 It reminds me of ligaments on meat...hmmm..it is kinda blurry...haha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel Pan Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 You're all wrong. It's a "Fuzz Fossil".Fossilized lower leg bone of a sheepwith bits of wool still attached. * petrified wood w/calsite? Almost opalized? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rimshot Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 Could be a vein maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel Pan Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 The photo taken at the "end", sure looks like it may almost be opalized.Looks like the end of a stick.Can ya see any "rings"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rimshot Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 I see rings kinda... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel Pan Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I'm guessin' P'fied wood.Do an acid test on the white part.Just about bet it foams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weaver hillbille Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 What acid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rimshot Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 White vinegar. I don't think i have anything stronger than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haderly Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 It looks like petrified wood. It won't fizz if it is petrified (silicated). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rimshot Posted May 29, 2014 Author Share Posted May 29, 2014 (edited) Thank's Haderly! I'll save it. It does look kinda like a piece of a branch. Edited May 29, 2014 by Rimshot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel Pan Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 It looks like petrified wood. It won't fizz if it is petrified (silicated).Only the white part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rimshot Posted May 29, 2014 Author Share Posted May 29, 2014 Well I will say this, it's as smooth as a babies butt. The only petrified wood I seen in Az looked rough to me. I guess pea gravel could be deformed too, like everything else. Weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel Pan Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Rollin' around in the pea gravel for the last 10,000 yrs could have polished the wood smooth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rimshot Posted July 3, 2014 Author Share Posted July 3, 2014 AaaaHaaaaaaa!!!!! Found a picture of some petrified wood from I forget what nation, but not in the USA.I'm guessing the little rock I found was sap from the center of tree. Interesting..

Steel Pan Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Sap or pitch usually becomes Amber.I think your guess of it being a branch or twig is correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regmaglitch Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 I agree with Weaver Hillbilly. I does not look like the brecciated lavender Blurstone, or the druzy Blurstone.It's absolutely the Golden variety. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnno Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 My bet fossilize wood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rimshot Posted July 7, 2014 Author Share Posted July 7, 2014 (edited) Hey that's cool Johnno. That's from the heart too. Maybe some petrified wood got into a rock crusher. I wonder what happened to the rest of it... That full size piece i seen on craigslist. It was about 1 1/2-2 feet long and they were asking $675.00 for it if I remember correctly. So the sap is amber...hmmm.. Edited July 7, 2014 by Rimshot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
