[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 288556, member: 2976"] Ted, is the Kangaroo valley pet wood often [i]glossy?[/i] Much of the Fitzroy river stuff has a very high gloss on the surface, despite having been tumbled along a river. Some bits of material also have a slightly "melted" or glazed surface appearance. The extinct volcanoes cores around the river, the presence of chalcedony on and sometimes in the wood and the often glazed appearance all suggest to me that volcanics were an important factor in the petrification process of this stuff. But not having a scientific background I can really only put things together based on what I see in front of me. [/QUOTE]
