Native Copper in Multicolor Opalized Wood (New Find!)

Item Description

These are without question some of the most unique and interesting stone to come out of any locality in a long time. At the beginning of 2021, we first started seeing these stones hit the market, and we were fortunate enough to have a good contact in Java who was able to secure a small parcel of high quality pieces for us. As you can see, this stone features a beautiful multicolor mix of Opal with colors ranging from a soft blue-green hue to vivid yellow and red spots, and even some small black and white patches which are sitting on / in a matrix of Petrified Wood, but the highlight is that there are brilliant bright metallic section of Native Copper mixed in! The polish on the stone allows the Copper to really shine, and I'm certain it's the Copper content in the Opal that is creating the lively colors. If you're a gem collector, this is something that I'm sure you've never seen before, as it's quite rare to find native elements incorporated into any kind of gems like this, let alone something so colorful and honestly beautiful. Don't pass this up, because we don't know if this find will produce more material, and sometimes these kind of discoveries have a tendency to be mined out quickly and disappear from the market.
