They are close enough in color that they would work well as part of a cohesive collection, which is why they are being offered as a pair rather than individually. Please look closely at the round pair as each stone has a slight crack that does not effect the beauty of the stones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDIMENSIONS\u003cbr\u003e\nRound Pair: 15.8mm x 14mm x 3.4mm — 10 ct\u003cbr\u003e\nOther Pair: 24mm x 11.5mm x 3.2mm — 12.6 ct\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSTONE DETAILS\u003cbr\u003e\nVariety: Petrified Wood Opal\u003cbr\u003e\nSpecies: Opal\u003cbr\u003e\nOrigin: Indonesia\u003cbr\u003e\nCut: Cabochon, Oval\u003cbr\u003e\nTreatment: None\u003cbr\u003e\nHardness: 5.5 – 6.5 Mohs\u003cbr\u003e\nRI: 1.370 – 1.470\u003cbr\u003e\nSold as: 2-Stone Lot\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePetrified wood opal forms when silica-rich groundwater slowly replaces the organic structure of ancient wood, sometimes preserving growth rings, grain patterns, and cellular detail in opaline silica - the result is a material that reads simultaneously as geological record and optical phenomenon. Indonesian material in particular tends to carry warm earth tones alongside blue-green play or body color, a combination that gives designers something more grounded and narrative than conventional precious opal. Because opalized wood is a sedimentary replacement material, individual pieces can vary in porosity and structural integrity, so it is worth setting with protective bezels where possible and avoiding ultrasonic cleaning.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gem Enthusiast","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48097892597947,"sku":"WO257","price":57.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0639\/8214\/1627\/files\/il_fullxfull.8244028962_9vhh.jpg?v=1783889292","url":"https:\/\/gementhusiast.shop\/products\/opalized-wood-cabochons-2-pair-lot-87008","provider":"Gem Enthusiast","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
