About Petrified WoodHide

A type of fossil wood where the original organic material has been replaced - usually by chalcedony or agate (cryptocrystalline quartz), but sometimes by opal, coal, pyrite, calcite, apatite and others. It can be attractive, with well-preserved wood grain and banding and sometimes with overprinting colours, and is widely used in the lapidary arts or as a decorative stone.

It can be brown, black, grey or off-white, from original organic matter, with other colours introduced; e.g., red and green are usually caused by iron, but a few more brightly colored green woods may be colored by chromium or vanadium.
