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

Opal Plus has a rich history that began in 1990 when it commenced selling Opals in Perth, Western Australia. Initially, the business was closely tied to the mining efforts of Paul, who was extracting Black Opal from Lightning Ridge, NSW. The rough Opal was transported to Perth, where Wayne co-ordinated the meticulous cutting, polishing, and eventual sale as finished stones. By 1992, Opal Plus transitioned its operations to the vibrant Gold Coast of Queensland, establishing an Opal cutting factory. Here, the team engaged in the intricate processes of rubbing, cutting, and polishing an impressive average of 120 Black Opals each day. With numerous partnerships and Opal mining ventures in place, Opal Plus secured a reliable source of Opal rough material to sustain its operations. Expanding its reach beyond Australia, Opal Plus began catering to the markets of New Zealand and participated in renowned events such as the Tuscon Gem Shows in America and gem shows in Japan. In 1995, the introduction of Estella's jewellery creations added a new dimension to the business, as Opal jewellery became an integral part of their offerings, enhancing the Opal sales experience for customers across Australia and beyond.
