Petrified wood (from the Greek root petro meaning rock or stone; literally wood turned into stone) is the name given to a special type of fossilized remains of terrestrial vegetation. It is the result of a tree or tree-like plants having completely transitioned to stone by the process of permineralization.rtificial petrified wood has been produced in a Washington laboratory. In the process, small cubes of pine are soaked in an acid bath for two days, then in a silica solution for another two. The product is then cooked at 1400 Â°C in an argon atmosphere for two hours.
Petrified wood can be found on every continent with trees, or every continent but Antarctica. Some places petrified wood is commonly found are: USA, Argentina, Brazil, China, Indonesia, UK, Egypt, New Zealand, Australia, and Ukraine.etrified wood can be found in many different colors. What color the stones will be is dependent upon the chemicals in the soil. Petrified wood is nearly all quartz crystals, but quartz has almost no color. It can be combined with other elements to add color to the petrified wood. If you add carbon, the stone is black.
