Petrified wood is trees or other woody material that is fossilized. The process of petrification, or fossilization, is where the minerals in the plant or animal are replaced by that of the minerals in the soil or rock.
Petrified wool looks like wood, except is it hard like rock. The ridges in the bark and the rings within the wood can still be seen after it is petrified.
Petrified wood is the state stone of Mississippi. This was designated in 1976. Mississippi contains a large petrified forest park and museum.
Petrified wood is an example of altered remains. The pores of the wood are filled in with silica.
None. It's just wood.
Yes, petrified wood can opalize. Opalization occurs when silica-rich water seeps into the pores of the wood and replaces the original organic material with opal, resulting in a fossilized wood with opal instead of its original cellular structure. This process can create beautiful opalized specimens.
Petrified wood is usually silicified. Specimens could be washed with a mild detergent, small brush and plenty of water and left to dry naturally. Most petrified wood would be naturally resistant to weathering.

Petrified wood is a fossil of a once living tree; the fallen tree is first tree is covered with sediments , then the organic material is replaced gradually by minerals (usually silicate minerals), retaining its shape and form. Petrified wood often looks like normal wood and displays annular ring patterns, bark, vessels etc. Petrified wood normally lacks the same definition that live (or recently dead) wood does. One obvious difference is that petrified wood is considerably more dense than wood.
Petrified wood has turned to stone, a type of fossil, It is unlikley that you would be able to burn it.
