Tiny Mountain Top

Post by fossil finder »

I just cut one end off this decomposed petrified wood from northern nsw so it could stand. Don't know about you but this small 60mm stone takes me straight to the mountains. Petrified wood is an accepted species of stone for for tray landscapes and it is easy to see why. The timber grain becomes a brilliant surrogate for the layers of geology observed in a natural landscape. I am continually matching and updating new finds with a other examples I have for tray landscapes.

I don't trust Bonsai, they are a little shady.

Cheers for the kind words everyone. As I have said previously if you can't get to the spots where you can find stones personally check out the regional gem and mineral shows that occur in your state. Times and locations are available online.
