Petrified wood found in the park and the surrounding region is made up of almost solid quartz. Each piece is like a giant crystal, often sparkling in the sunlight as if covered by glitter. The rainbow of colors is produced by impurities in the quartz, such as iron, carbon, and manganese.

Thank you very much Tiia, Bobby, Tammy and Mike! Yes, Tammy you would have Petrified Jack's curse on you forever..LOL.. I can remember the first time I saw the Petrified Forest. There was about 2 to 3 inches of petrified wood chips on the ground everywhere you went but now it's all gone. It's hard to imagine how many pockets full were needed to remove that amount...
