PETRIFIED SALT PEAR

You are Looking At a

VERY RARE , PETRIFIED piece of FRUIT, SALT PEAR from
the Nevada Black Rock Desert

This was found by my father, who was an active rock collector, in the 1950's

The pear is almost completely turned to salt.

If you hold it to the light, you can make out what appears
to be the seeds inside the pear.

This is a freak of nature that has kept me thinking how did this
turn into salt and how did it get out in the middle of a salt flat?

The only part that is not salt is the stem.

If you are a collector of this type of rare precious stone collectors item, it could be a part of your collection.
