Sorry I just saw this. It's interesting but no wood grain shows up in the pics but I'm no expert on PW.

some have no grains, like on this example full petrification they call it and here another example: https://georarities.com/product/pet...rified-wood-polished-chunk-specimen-55g-aa44/

I just wanted to comment to the OP to say he has very little patience, he needs to give more time for people to even see his posts and then reply if they have some good input.

i do apologies for my impatience, and must give people time to think things over and then react.

i think this specimen is agatized wood or something like that. pretty hard stuff i think seeing the shine on it like very glassy.

You should cut and polish your pet wood. These cabochons are petrified wood from near the Petrified Forest in Arizona. They will be made into jewelry.

This one is pet wood from Nevada.

thank you for the tip and thats beautifull. But i like to keep my pet wood in one piece because of the rarity found in the netherlands. It's the second biggest piece ever found. and i don't have a workshop.

would you say that my piece is jasperized?

 

[rockcollect]

I have put a flashlight on the shiny pieces and it's tranlucent, so does that mean it is agataized wood?
