r/petrifiedwood

Just got a UV black light to help expand my rock/ crystal/mineral collection and I noticed parts of this petrified wood I found and cut glow a dim green under UV. Anyone know why?

Found in a steam in Charlotte NC

Found by a creek in PA, it’s very heavy and I’m 80% sure it’s petrified wood. What do you think?

this washed up on shore while i was walking on the beach at Assateague Island

Found it on my morning walk around one potato field in Central Bohemian region of Czech Republic.

Found in the House of father in law, who passed away recently. He lived in Southern Palantine, Germany, but he worked in Liberia for many years.

Thanks for helping!

I adopted a large rock collection which was languishing in an elders’ yard. He’s no longer able to remember the exact location or identity specifics but mainly collected in Oregon, Idaho & Nevada. This coloring & grain pattern is so unique, I’m hoping someone might know where it’s from. Very blue.. as shown in the last microscope pic (wet).

Here is a collection of macros from a piece I recently cut.
Location is unknown at this time. Picture of the full slab is at the end of the photos. Piece is about 8” on the long side.

Two pieces gifted by a generous friend, who gathered them from the mud around Brilliant, Ala. Photos don’t do justice.

The second & third pics include a view of what could be a termite nest?

This is a cool looking bit of petrified wood
