Post by: yukonjade on April 29, 2018, 11:22:13 AM

  Earlier this week I was scouting out an area north of Hampton Butte Oregon Known
 for green petrified wood.I spotted a few inches of what looked to be tree bark poking
 up out of the ground,started digging with rock pick had to get shovel and out popped
 this 80 pd. chunk of jasperized wood, I will probably leave it as it is.   :WEEEE:

That is so cool!  Good job being persistent!  I'd leave it as is, too.  It's too awesome to cut up.
