Beautiful and unique turquoise opal found inside petrified wood.

Australian Boulder opals are found in unlikely places, such as cracks, crevices, and cavities.

A Reddit user (u/adymma90) came across a piece of petrified wood in Queensland, Australia that was full of the beautiful gem – and we’re not surprised the photo went viral.

The inside of the wood contained a beautiful structure of the iridescent turquoise opal.
The original post has been upvoted over 90,000 times, in part because very few people had ever seen anything like it.

The opal inside this piece of petrified wood is basically the mineral concentration of it.
