Aug. 27: Part 3 – Gem and Fossil Shop

Outside the Petrified Forest is this combination shop and museum.

This is so creative, but I’ll bet it took a long, long time to complete.

Well, I’ve found MY souvenir, but I don’t think it’ll fit into my purse. This amethyst geode was about 3 feet across.

These are a little more my size and the owls are adorable!

Actually, these are more in my price range, but I’m a little skeptical about their authenticity.

This is a beautiful piece of Diamond Willow.

These dinosaur bones are impressive.  Do you see the slab of polished petrified wood in the back on the right?

This would make a Texas-sized omelet!

We were told that these are the ancient ancestors of squid.

The end of another exciting day.
