~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wood opal is formed over thousands of years when silica-rich groundwater seeps into buried wood and replaces the organic matter over time. The water in the silica is rich in dissolved minerals, typically copper, iron, and manganese.

Those deposits result in a variety of colors and patterns, depending on the type of wood and the amount of opalization.
