Opal Limb Cast Unpolished Petrified Wood Rough Rock Yakima
This is a lovely unpolished petrified wood full limb cast that is left natural rough.
The limb cast is 2.1 inches long and 2.2 inches by 1.6 inches.
It is shown wet in the first 4 pictures and weighs 7 ounces.
This is actually a limb cast, not petrified wood. The original wood actually rotted away, leaving a "mold" that filled with common opal, a hydrated form of silica. Some of the bark characteristics have been preserved.
Opal casts can be quite beautiful, with a milky white or translucent appearance. This is common opal, not precious opal-it does not display a opalescence or flash of colors.
This is from an old collection from the 50's and 60's and it was found on private property in Yakima, Washington.
Metaphysical Properties of Common Opal: Common Opal is said to be a calming stone that soothes the emotional body and promotes a more positive outlook.
