Description :

Large rough specimen with a sandy brown matrix displaying concentric banding consistent with either ironstone nodule structure or preserved wood grain — the pattern strongly suggests petrified wood but has not been formally identified. The interior face reveals translucent golden-honey opal with play-of-color iridescence alongside blue-gray opal and chalcedony filling natural cavities and fractures. Blue and rainbow flashes visible under direct light. One face appears cut or naturally cleaved to expose the opal deposits; exterior retains weathered matrix texture.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

5.5W x 4.5 T x .75 D
