Yellow Cat Petrified Wood * Blue Agate Center

Yellow Cat Petrified wood, polished. This is a really nice small branch with excellent fortification going on. The center is blue agate. It's a beautiful little piece and almost a full round. It shows the fortification going through to the side and to the bottom. This piece shows the fortification that the Yellow Cat flat area is known for. All the wood is amazing and this one is top shelf. The pictures don't do justice to this wood.
 
From the orginal yellow cat flat area.  The Moab area has the Tusher canyon petrified wood but it's more of an orangish/red color and doesn't have the extreme fortification.  Amazing to look at mother nature's creation, it's hard to believe it's really petrified wood.
 
Measurements are about: 1 inch by 3/4 inch and 1/2 inch at tallest, weighs .4 oz.  pieces.
 
 
Yellow Cat Petrified Wood comes from Grand County, Utah found in the Brushy Basin Member in the Morrison Formation. This petrified wood is about 140 million years old from the Jurassic Time Period. Yellow Cat Petrified Wood is extremely rare and highly prized by wood and rare specimen collectors alike.  The limb casts from this area can be solid banded agate all the way through, banded agate with calcite or quartz centers but the majority are partial replacements with the banded agate mixed with permineralized wood to complete the casts. The agate colors range from red, orange, black and yellow.
