209 CTS WOOD FOSSIL ROUGH PARCEL FROM LIGHTNING RIDGE [BRP338]

WOOD FOSSIL ROUGH
This is a parcel of wood fossil replacement material. This was formed app 100 million years ago during the cretaceous period where the timber or vegetation structure was replaced by opals. sand incusions are a problem with fossil replacement so its some times best to polish as natural pieces.
Rough taken wet to show how it will finish.
There is a bulk of material in the parcel to cut from black opal to  dark and crystal opals.

-all weights and sizes are approximate.

All our stock has a money back guarantee provided its not cut/rubbed and we suggest you look at it with a loop dry before cutting

Note we use a camera that captures the mauve in blue stones which the eye cant see so consider this color to be blue

How do we value our rough?? After 30 years experience of rubbing down and cutting thousands of opal we value  the rough as what we believe it will cut-However you are dealing with nature so some stones will come out worse than i expect-if you are disappointed with your experience please let us know so we may be able to rectify it.
