This extremely rare Opalized Wood comes from a deposit in Northern Tasmania. It originates from the species Casuarina, also known as the Australian pine or native pine. The wood started the extremely long process of Opalization around 23-50 mya when local volcanoes erupted and covered the area in a layer of ash. The ash protects the organic wood material from decay & insect attack, while also serving as a rich & easily dissolved source of silica. The silica from the ash was slowly carried into the cavities and slowly replaced the solid wood material.
