[QUOTE="Rockhunter62, post: 322341, member: 7504"] Hi Neil, Yes I would believe that it would be heavier now in the rock state rather than when it was just wood. From wikipedia: "All the organic materials have been replaced with minerals (mostly a silicate, such as quartz), while retaining the original structure of the stem tissue." This would make the wood heavier now. Hope I helped. Cheers Doug [/QUOTE]
