RARE BOULDER OPAL FOSSIL WOOD REPLACEMENT
Source Blackgate Queensland opal fieldsAUSTRALIA
Mined in 1980 and has been in family collection ever since
The circles that you can view are called Ooids orooltic .
These are sedimentary ironstone with spherical growths .
These ooliths appear to have formed in quite shallow, moving water in which chemical precipitation of iron compounds predominated
So we can assume this wood specimen fell in shallow waters in ironstone country which is well represented in Queensland.
Ooliths consist of concentric growths around a nucleus, which may be a minute quartz grain with inclusions.
THIS OPAL MINED 1986 AND NOW IN GOLD COAST OPAL AND GEMSTONE MUSEUM

Brilliantly polished solid black opal in elegant setting. Even more beautiful in person than in the photos! Communication with the seller was excellent, and I received my order in less than a week with international shipping. Highly recommend!

It is gorgeous! Even more so than the pictures. I also appreciate the info the seller sent me and am looking forward to looking over it. It came on time and was well protected. I will definitely be doing business with them again.

I love the rolling flashes this stone has, they range from red to fiery orange to deep green and a bit of the other rainbow spectrum. This will make an awesome statement piece!
