Petrified Wood Reveals Gorgeous Rare Turquoise Opal Hiding Inside

Mother Nature never ceases to amaze. Sometimes, out of the blue, we get to hear things that we never even thought would exist and there is no doubt that these things are the reason why we are intrigued by nature and its mystery. Some people devote their entire life, entire fortune and time to explore these hidden gems and thanks to technology and its advancement, we are privileged enough to witness some of these discoveries.

The opal inside this piece of petrified wood is basically the mineral concentration of it, although opal can also form elsewhere. For example, archeologists have already found numerous shells and bones that were completely opalized, and the result is basically just as mind-blowing as the picture in question. The way the mineral looks inside this piece of wood can almost be described as magical. It might even make you wonder how opal is formed in the first place. These opals often form the basis for organic gemstones, and you'll often find them reworked somehow into beautiful jewelry such as opal rings and necklaces.
