CLAM SHELL OPALIZED
COOBER PEDY, AUSTRALIA
NATURAL SHELL
OPALIZED FOSSIL
BEAUTIFUL COLOURS
An opalised clam shell is a fossilized clam shell that has been replaced or filled with precious opal, typically found in Australia. This rare natural phenomenon combines paleontology and gemology, making such specimens both scientifically significant and visually stunning.
Key Features:
Material: The original shell is preserved in silica, and over time, this silica becomes opal.
Location: Most commonly found in Lightning Ridge, Coober Pedy, and White Cliffs, Australia.
Color: May display vibrant play-of-color (iridescent rainbow-like hues), especially in precious opal forms.
Age: Often around 100 million years old, dating back to the Cretaceous period.
Why They're Valuable:
Scientific value: They preserve details of ancient marine life.
Aesthetic value: Iridescent, colorful opal makes them highly sought after by collectors and jewelers.
Rarity: Opalized fossils are extremely rare, especially complete or colorful ones.
