This is a Madagascar GREEN OPAL crystal palm stone. Shown next to a US quarter coin for size comparison. Green Opal deposits in Madagascar are a relatively new find. They can include both Iron dendrites (brown - can resemble plant-life), and/or Manganese dendrites (black - can resemble plant-life). White Calcite inclusions and small vugs (AKA 'crystal cave inclusions') are present throughout. Vugs are natural formations, sometimes also known as "crystal cave inclusions", and considered highly collectible. Really MUCH nicer 'in person' than the photos can show - I guarantee it!

ALL inclusions/formations present are 100% natural parts of the stone.
