Here is the state gem of Washington - Petrified Wood.
A tree growing in a swampy area is buried by ash and lava in a massive volcanic eruption. 13 million years later a piece of this tree is found on Saddle Mountain, Wa. It is now a fossil, and when cut and polished, it reveals hints of what it once was.
It is approximately 3 1/2 inches tall by 3/4 inch wide.
