Petrified Wood

-

For about 6 months while I've been walking the dog out in the desert each day, I've been searching for bits of chalcedony which are fluorescent, and little pieces of obsidian (Apache's tears).

-

And for the about last month or 6 weeks, since I've found the bed of the Rio Grande where it used to run hundreds of thousands of years ago, and since I have gotten a couple of rock tumblers running in my garage, each day I come home with 5 or 10 pounds of naturally rounded stones.

But yesterday I was really surprised when I found a nice piece of petrified wood out in the desert less than a mile from my house! The exact ICBM coordinates are N 31.74616, W -106.25918
