So many unlikely things have to happen to make petrified wood, it is amazing that there is any of it around. We went to the petrified forest out near Holbrook, Arizona last month and in the crystal forest section there are huge trunks and section of logs laying around everywhere. It’s a wonder there are any left, because apparently before the national park was established passenger trains used to stop nearby and people would loot the area as much as they wanted. In a business near the park we saw a 30”x60” table with a large slab of petrified wood inset in the top that was selling for $26,000.00.

Why is it better to leave in the weather to deteriorate in the elements? All that looting and there was still so much it everywhere?

Don’t sweat it, it’s a renewable resource.
