Keep acing it, Ninja ⚡ Keep in mind that the forums were very slow over the course of a week or two, making them difficult to use for a lot of people; the issues were resolved on July 5th.

Ammy Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Petrified wood is pretty frickin' cool to me honestly. Real life petrification. The kind of thing that sounds so fantasy and that you mainly only see in fantasy, and then you find out that it actually happens in nature, with wood. Link to post Share on other sites

It's like clouds, with enough imagination, you can see a lot of things in them. Like that face in the middle-left. It reminds me of something, but I couldn't quite tell what from.

Guest -NULL- Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Hello everyone, I apologize for temporarily abandoning this thread for such an extended period of time. You can expect me to be back soon with more geoscience and mineral updates! I have become rather inundated with all of my problem sets and coursework for my studies, so I hope that you can understand the reason for my absence. I am stoked to continue to develop this thread and I hope that you are ready to see some more awesome minerals!!! Thank you all for your kindness and patience. You guys are honestly such an amazing community of people! Keep Acing It, Ninja Link to post Share on other sites
