Taken in a place with no name (See more photos or videos here)

I have never seen cedar wood agatized yellow. Even the bark is yellow. Found in the Tusher Canyon area near Moab, Utah, just a canyon or two away from Yellow Cat. :))D

This is one stunning Jurassic Era specimen found in the Brushy Basin Member of the Morrison Formation! These colors are true.

Size: approx. 5" x 3" x 1.5" deep

	oldbones says: Cools a great word rescuechick. The following is a list of minerals and the colors they produce in petrified wood and agates: Iron-oxide = orange, rust, red or yellow. Manganese-oxide = blues, blacks or purples. carnotite (a compound of uranium) = brilliant oranges and bright yellows. chromium = soft green cinnabar = true rose or baby-pink chlorite = deep green mineral free silica = white, grey, and clear quartz Posted 8 months ago.
