| Petrified Wood |
I bought Carol a bag of rough rocks to use as gifts to our grandchildren who gladly accept them. She must have forgotten and I stumbled across it a couple weeks ago.
I was waiting for a microscope objective to arrive and decided to try the process at which I am not good to identify them. The bag included color pictures of the 25 possibilities. How hard can that be? The process was more involved than I originally thought. I started with the one above which turned out to be petrified wood.

I began by photographing it with differing compositions. After the first day I still had no idea.

Wood is "petrified" when minerals replace its cells.
The thing that got me going was on the second day, I remembered I had seen vendors at the rock and mineral show displaying their samples with a water bath which made them appear more beautiful and tried it. I soaked the sample and looked it over with a hand lens. The realization suddenly dawned on me.

The knowledge of its identity, opened up my possibilities for photographing it. I finally knew where I was going.
