Joseph City

Joseph City

Joseph City houses a lot of specimen quality petrified wood. It can be found within the low hills of north of I-40 between Joseph City and Holbrook. The color of this wood is a dull tan or gray. A hearty search may turn up petrified wood with color in it. Agate has also been seen at Joseph City. Better quality wood has been found north of Joseph City near the south boundary of the Navajo Reservation. There are a number of washes that expose the wood. The wood at this location is sometimes a dark black color with lines of white, a top pick for any collector.
