2 1/4" long Blue Opal Displaced Petrified Wood: First found near the slopes of volcanoes in the West Java Provence in Indonesia. Approximately 20 million years old. The source deposit is located on steep slopes of Mt Tjikolak. What the miners actually found was a ancient petrified forest which had been pushed over by pyroclastic flow from a volcanic explosion. The rest of the story is, besides it being discovered around 2 years ago...the miners camps were burned out by the forest police, because they didnât have permits. They didnât because they were expensive. The police also filled all the holes. The work was extremely hard, imagine rock logs! Because of this, there is very little new material coming. But cutters who had bought the material over the last couple years have material, but odds of getting much more is slim. So the price will eventually go up... This stone can assist anyone who is feeling stuck or experiences being frozen in time. It helps to create balance and offers a foundation from which to launch new goals or undertake a different path. Petrified wood is also a wonderful grounding stone. Helps calm scattered energies. Enhances patience and ancestral healing.
