Glad you enjoyed the video! It sure is!

@@treasuresinstone7158 I really have gotten into fossils this last year but only scratched the surface of petrified wood starting around December. Since then, I have bought obsurd amounts of petrified wood and I have acquired some true museum pieces, one or two of a kind slabs, and some specimens that are so unique that you just can't help but be in awe for all of it. It's actually made me want to start a business based around it. Would you mind sharing your thoughts on the industry, what it took you to get started, when you started seeing things going in the right direction, and anything else you find relevant? Pitfalls, do's/don'ts, things you with you knew when starting out - you get it. I know it's a big ask and you can share as much or little as you'd like. I just figured you probably have insight many others don't. I know that as enjoyable as it is collecting, that's vastly different from selling/making a living. I've spent many years doing what I was good at, but it also taxed me heavily both mentally and physically. I don't believe for a second it's a cake walk and unless you're making it happen, I don't expect money simply grows in your pockets. It's obviously still work, but I'd much rather enjoy the work and make a living rather than working but paying for it in the long run. I would be truly grateful for your insights of any sort. Cheers

Thank you!

Thank you!!

We are glad to be helpful! Thank you for the kind words!!

Petrified Wood is a fossil. Most people, I believe, tend to take care of fossils and further help preserve their beauty, just as we do. Also, iron, copper, zinc, etc... minerals... are used in your every day items. The simplest cell phones today contain about 40 distinct minerals, from crushed limestone to rare earth minerals. Just saying :)

There are a lot of fossils in DC that we can do without.

It kinda depends on the piece the different kind of trees vary in rarities. And colors and if it's a full round. It all depends the better the name and the prettier they are

alright :) hey, i also wanted to tell that your video is very clear and informative

You can spray them with lacquer and it kinda shines them up and seals some holes
