This opalized clam shell fossil from Lightning Ridge, Australia is a rare natural fusion of paleontology and precious opal. The original shell structure has been replaced by opal over millions of years, preserving fossil detail while adding vibrant flashes of color and iridescence. Each specimen is completely unique, combining organic form with gemstone-quality opalization.
Lightning Ridge is one of the world’s most famous opal localities, renowned for producing high-quality black and crystal opal since the late 1800s. Fossils from this region are especially prized because they represent an ancient inland sea that once covered the area, making opalized shells not only visually striking but historically significant collector pieces that connect geology, biology, and Australian mining heritage.
