Thank you so much for this episode, just fascinating. I am in Australia so can't just drive to see this, and I do appreciate the variety you present. The pieces on display are one offs and a delight for collectors. I have a piece of opal fossilized timber and love it, but reckon not much could match the rainbow colours of these pieces.

The plaster trick is useful even for a rank amateur with an angle grinder and some diamond pads...like me. Gotta remember that one. Some of the items in the private collections made me all kinds of envious, like the red mortar and pestle that would look very nice indeed in my kitchen, and that lovely malachite and marble (?) chess set.

Jim Gray does not have his own claim. He is on a ranchers land, and he is paying the rancher for the mineral rights. The DoBells have their own claim. Their property touches the park. Actually the government took some land from the DoBells to make the park. Jim Gray is relocating his wood to the shop where are you are at, from the ranchers leased land.

@@lapidarydave darn, I might have gone there if they sold the rough wood. About 20 years ago I went on some field trips to the area through another shop up there, the one with a very large dinosaur out front. Not sure if it is still there or not? I think they sold their ranch to the Petrified Forest state park last I had heard. We could collect the very best material for only $1 per pound. I bought 1000 lbs! lol! All handpicked, best colors possible! I still have some but am running low now.....crappy stuff is like $10 per pound now on eBay! lol!
