  That piece of wood they cut down the middle with the striations, it's giving off some major Asgardian Bifrost Rainbow Bridge Vibes to me

  At 44 years young I still get impressed by the things we discover within the nature of our reality, wood turned opal.....like COME ON! How gorgeous! I get memorized even still, is that weird or am I just passionate?

  When I lived in Southern Cali I found a chunk of obsidian larger than a bowling ball it was awesome.

  That long piece you found towards the end was my favorite.  The fact you could still see the pine bark..it looked  like a regular pine log!!

  Opal is so fun to dig for! My family and I usually go dig at Rainbow Ridge, it's real close to the royal peacock, and we come out with some awesome stuff from rainbow ridge. They are a bit more expensive, but I'd totally recommend going there. You can either pay to dig the tailings or you can get a large loader scoop and have the day to go through it.
