Petrified Wood Reveals Gorgeous Rare Turquoise Opal Hiding Inside

In certain areas in Australia, opal is a lot less rare than in the rest of the world. In particular, you'll find a lot of Boulder Opal pieces, which are sometimes referred to as Rainbow Tree stones because of their color-changing abilities. It's not hard to see why specialized mines were built in the late 19th century to get as much opal as possible. In any case, this particular piece of petrified wood opal has both mesmerized the internet with its beauty, as well as perplexed people on how something as beautiful as this can form completely naturally. I'm a full-grown man in the 21st century and I couldn't even begin to explain this, one person joked. The shape of the Opal also looks like a tree. Neat! Yeah that's some sh** that would literally inspire religious followers in ancient times. No wonder people thought magic and fairies and sh** were real. How would an ancient human even begin to explain this lol another added.
