Description: 106 carat wood replacement opal and color!
Weight: 106 carat.
Origin: Banten, Indonesia.
Treatment: pieces have been rubbed in baby oil and may have been heated as that is a common practice in Indonesia to bring out the color.
Shape: Roots & branches.
Pattern: Black potch with sections of colorful opal. This is specimen grade.
Dominant Colors: Red, orange, green, blue.
Size: The biggest piece is 32mm x 13mm x 10mm.
Condition: Original.
Comments: These are specimens of wood replacement opal. Indonesian opalized wood is petrified wood in which the wood grains have been replaced by opal. Indonesia is a volcanic island chain that is currently active and this volcanic activity produces a wide array of unusual minerals and rocks. When wood is buried by volcanic ash and silica is mobilized from the ash, the silica will penetrate into the wood and replace the grains of the wood. Opal is a hydrated silica. The silica is often accompanied by other elements that give the opalized wood a wide range of colors. Red, green and purple colors are usually from iron minerals. Manganese often creates pink, black and brown coloration and copper minerals can produce blue and green.
Photos & Videos: taken under natural lighting conditions in our office (sun and shade). No lights, filters, photoshop or enhancements of any kind have been used. What you see is what you get.

Why are users outbidding themselves?
When a bid is placed, this is the maximum amount a person is willing to bid for the product. Our system will then automatically bid on behalf of the bidder, incrementally increasing the bid up to the maximum to maintain their position as the highest bidder.
When there is an icon indicating 'Automatic Bid', it means our system is actively placing bids for the bidder based on their maximum bid. This may appear as if bidders are outbidding themselves, but it's simply a result of the system updating the bid to reflect the bidders maximum limit.
