Exploring a Secret Petrified Forest in Nevada: Opalized Wood Everywhere!

Watch The Video!

Imaging stumbling across an undiscovered petrified forest. This is exactly what happened to this rockhound and his friend. And it’s no ordinary find, the area they found is absolutely littered with specimens of opalized wood, some of which are fluoresce under UV light. They even came across massive 6-foot-long petrified logs!

The rockhound who made the discovery posted a montage of images to share with all of us on his YouTube channel, Of Victims and Villains.

While the area they found might not be truly “undiscovered”, it’s still a new site that has clearly never been visited by previous rockhounds. And that’s what makes this discovery so exciting.
