    Description

    Chromium petrified wood from Arizona
    This piece of green petrified wood is from Winslow Arizona. This caught my attention at the Tucson Mineral/Gem show. The vendor is from Show Low and said it's green from the result of chromium infusion in the agatization process. He said it comes from an extremely small occurrence on the Navajo Reservation, and fetches premium prices.
    This Chromium (Green) Petrified Wood is one of the rarest petrified woods ever discovered.  Only one truck load was unearthed near Winslow, Arizona in the 1970's and has now been dispersed to "who knows where".
    By carbon dating, it has been determined to originate from the Chinle formation, Triassic era - approximately 180 million years ago.  The specimen was once a conifer tree (Araucarioxylon Arizonicum) which grew to about 200 feet in height with a width of approximately 6 to 8 feet.  During the fossilization process, the organic matter from this tree was replaced with the element Chromium (Cr).  The agatization process resulted with in a natural mint green color.
