Bracelet cuff style with petrified opalized wood

A contemporary sterling silver bracelet featuring a stunning 13x18 oval cabochon of petrified opalized wood. Its sleek 925 silver setting highlights the stone's simply unique, outstanding beauty.

This extraordinary material begins as ancient wood buried in mineral-rich soil. Over millions of years, silica solutions permeate the organic structure, but instead of forming typical agate or quartz, it crystallizes as precious opal. This creates a breathtaking fusion: the preserved woody texture and growth rings of fossilized wood, illuminated by the fiery flashes of color and shimmering play-of-light unique to opal. It is a rare and beautiful double treasure from the deep past.
