Description

Opalized Wood Cabochon
Java, Indonesia

An unusual, if not odd, example of material, this piece really is something special. A teardrop cabochon, which looks a little like a thicker guitar pick, is actually a representation of Petrified - or, more precisely, Opalized - Wood and hails from Java, Indonesia. The specimen is effectively a bicolor with a top section of a dark coloration and a lower area of a pleasing, primarily yellowish-green hue, consistent with Opals.
Measurements: 27.55 x 19.37 x 6.67 mm, weighs 4 grams
