Petrified wood like you won't believe

I hope I am not violating any forum rules by posting the following
I will remove this post immediately upon finding that it is inappropriate
and I have violated any rules. I apologize in advance if that is the case.

I have on my families property maybe the one of the largest collection of
privately owned huge agatized petrified wood stumps in the world.
Well over a hundred tons, maybe over 2 hundred tons.
I am talking rocks weighing at least a ton, some several tons.


Hundreds of beautiful huge agatized stumps that you aren't going to find
anywhere no matter how far and wide you hunt.
I would appreciate any information on marketing this resource.
I can post pictures if that will help me in my quest to find a fitting
home for these amazing treasures.

Hello Pronghorn,

I see your post came up again...

I DID press my friend a number of times 'til I got a response from him.
Answer did not come back positive.

He's apparently in dire straights due to the housing mess here in CA.

Never-the-less, he's a brite fellow, and it will, in the least, give him one more card to play.
Never know what might come up!

Best

Hey Pronghorn!!!
I know this guy who has been collecting Petrified Wood for a while now. Anyway, about six months ago he told me about some scientist, who goes around the world, where ever he is called to, and identifies, and classifies the different types of trees the wood is from. Now, some of these trees are Extinct, if yours are so, they might be worth even more, much more! Try searching for this guy on the internet. If you want, get back to me and I will try to get a name for you. Good Luck Amigo, TD

Someone should, I suppose, mention that you should check out your states mining and mineral laws. Also verify you own the mineral rights on the land, otherwise you may make a bundle of money for someone else and leave yourself holding the bag o bills. Also check with your state geology department, they'll most likely already know what you have there.

Re: Petrified wood like you won't believe

I happen to be a freelance writer working exclusively within the diamond/gem/jewelry trade. Experience includes former senior editor for Gemkey Magazine & Gemkey.com's online news center, wrote articles for Professional Jeweler, DeBeers InSight, Instore & VicenzaOro, quoted in Rapaport & Diamond Intelligence Briefs, cited in Gems & Gemology, and conducted seminars at India's International Jewelry Show (IIJS) in Mumbai at the request/invitation of India's Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC).

In addition to writing/speaking, I've designed product lines, developed marketing strategies and tackled logistical/distribution challenges for manufacturers/vendors and industry organizations both domestically & abroad.

Twelve years of successful sales history behind the counters of wonderful independent retail jewelers form the foundation of all the incredible opportunities I've had the great privilege to enjoy.

I'm happy to offer you some assistance and am open to providing whatever degree of support that makes sense mutually. While money isn't even close to the primary reasons I do/don't do things, there's only so much time/resources I can invest on the free level since following one's bliss doesn't get far with utility companies, grocers or gas stations...if only they'd see the light! Ha!

Please feel welcome to contact me any time.

Best Regards

I Will Buy your wood... I Live in Reeder!!!

call me 303 957 8803 Thanks Chip

Thanks Allen for your post.
What I have is a lot of huge stumps, and I live out in the middle of nowhere
500 miles from the nearest city of any size. So transportation is a huge problem,
fuel prices, ouch.

Basically I am the local rock shop.
I live in a very low population area with little tourist traffic so bookends and that sort
of petrified wood product aren't really worth the time.
I need to sell several truck loads of rock to someone who wants to create a one
of a kind structure.

I am looking to move some very unique agates the size of small cars,
good luck with that right.
I am no salesman and don't really know where to
go with this.
I have sold a few stumps to people, they put them in their yards and
landscape around them etc.
Below are some pictures of a building made with smaller rocks,
400 lbs or less, and a nice stump, maybe 2000 lbs, in a yard.

call me 303 957 8803 Thanks Chip
