What is Opalized Wood?

Opalized wood occurs naturally. When the wood of the tree breaks down and thousands of years go by, opaline silica may form in its place. The water in that silica is rich in copper, iron, and manganese. Those copper and manganese deposits are what creates this beautiful blue opal!
