Yellow Cat Redwood

 
Own a piece of history.  The rarest of rare Yellow Cat Redwood is more mineral specimen than petrified wood.  Formed during the Jurassic period, voids left by decaying plants and vegitation were replaced by silica, quartz, minerals or crystals.  Now it is only a cast of the original form, called Agate.  The conditions that took place to produce these specimens make it unlikely any more discoveries of this quality will be found.
 
Found near Moab, Utah, Yellow Cat Redwood was discovered in the early 1900's.  It was located in the Brushy Basin area of the Morrison Formation.  Tiffany & Co. made jewelry out of the Yellow Cat Redwood in the 1930's, before it became so scarce.
