Welcome to the Street Prophets Coffee Hour cleverly hidden at the intersection of religion and politics. This is an open thread where we can share our thoughts and comments about the day. The Rice Northwest Museum of Rocks and Minerals in Hillsboro, Oregon, houses a world-class collection recognized as the finest in the Pacific Northwest and one of the finest in the United States. The Museum building, originally constructed as the private residence of Richard and Helen Rice, is listed in the National Register of Historic Places for its unique architectural style, natural stonework, and the extraordinary native Oregon woodwork found throughout the building.

A large basement gallery, the Dennis and Mary Murphy Petrified Wood Gallery, houses more than 460 worldwide petrified wood specimens. This is one of the finest collections in the United States.

Shown above is a small portion of the Petrified Wood Gallery.

Shown below are some of the specimens from Nevada.
