However, one thing you may not see very often, because it's incredibly rare, is an opalised petrified wood. When the wood, a tree for example, lies on the ground long enough, minerals enter the tree, while the wood rots. Eventually, the minerals take on the form of the wood creating petrified wood. There's a whole forest of petrified wood outside San Jose called the petrified forest. However, during the formation of the petrified wood, rarely, bubbles begin to form of just the right spacing. The petrified wood is now also an opal.
