Opal in Petrified Wood

Item Description

We started seeing these pieces coming out a few years ago, and they are certainly some of the more colorful examples of Petrified Wood out there. This piece is a beautiful example of this exciting Precious Opal replacing Petrified Wood from Java, Indonesia This piece features a small area of highly colorful Precious Opal which shows bright color flashes of red, gold, orange, yellow and green set against the brownish-black Petrified Wood. The specimen is slightly polished / rounded to help the Opal shine. The Opal is best seen when viewed up close. These come to us direct from a friend who travels directly to Indonesia to buy material. It's very worthwhile for collectors becuase it's not just a mineral specimen, nor a gem specimen nor a fossil, but a combination of all three.
