The varieties of wood from the Blue Forest include: maple, oak, palm, pine, poplar, sequoia, and sycamore. Also a good volume has been identified as pepper wood.

A couple features make this wood unique. One is that as the original wood decayed it left cavities which were later filled with quartz, chalcedony, and common opal which were a light blue color. This is where the name Blue Forest comes from. The other feature of the wood in this area is the greater than usual number of pieces that feature a full round cross section.

If you should ever go to the area, you might ask yourself, "Where's the forest?" because there is nothing there but rolling praire and sagebrush. The whole forest is two to three feet underground. You pick a spot and start digging, hoping to find something. If you get down three feet and don't find anything, it's time for a new hole. Or you could enlarge a hole left by someone else. You can only dig about three holes in a day. So, you can see your chances of finding something may be limited. If you go, good luck!

These specimens are sold in lots of 100 pieces for $25.00.
