Stunning Petrified Wood from Holbrook, Arizona (DoBell Ranch)
We visit the famous DoBell Ranch southeast of Holbrook, Arizona (just outside of the Petrified Forest National Park) to collect stunning pieces of petrified wood, including the much sought-after "rainbow" petrified wood. The DoBell Ranch is one of the oldest rockhounding dig sites in the USA, having been opened in 1936 by Francis DoBell. DoBell Ranch, which is located adjacent to the Petrified Forest National Park, provides a legal way to collect Arizona petrified wood for a small fee.

When using Muriatic Acid to clean your fossils, be sure to wear gloves and eye protection, and avoid breathing the fumes. Always add acid to water, and never add water to acid, and always do your cleaning OUTDOORS. To neutralize your acid bath, use generous amounts of baking soda (until the solution stops fizzing), and then allow at least a few more hours. Once neutralized, pour out the old solution, and then soak your fossils (petrified wood) in fresh water and allow to soak for a few more hours, overnight is best. Never clean fossils containing calcium in Muriatic Acid, as the strong acid will attack your fossil. Use weaker acids, such as Vinegar to clean calcium-based fossils (most fossils in limestone). Only use Muriatic Acid on silica-based fossils, since the Hydrochloric Acid cannot dissolve the silica.
