Lot of fine bands, the saw would make some real nice slabs. Good ole coral, no doubt. Great finds John.

Do I see petrified or agatized wood in that pile of pretties? And some even nice solid red and yellow agates.

So it's safe to tumble petrified wood? Does the process just make the wood shiny and smooth?

Pet wood is safe to tumble.. You just gotta make sure that you don't use a hard grit at the beginning if you want to keep the stone to be just like it was when you found it.
