Amazing Petrified Limb Cast Branches
$30.00
This is a heck of a fascinating piece of petrified geological history! Literally branches, knots, Limbs, bark all frozen in time as Opal. Literally millions of years ago this tree got smothered away from oxygen in water, the molecular structure open as the water swelled it, allowing silica rich opals to replace its structure, opalizing it perfectly to its shape down to even the texture of the bark and branches! Its amazing! Photos do it no justice!
