Batunya berkualiti, tiada defects yang mencacatkan seperti retak dsb. Ada bahagian yang transparent. Ada gambar seperti kepala seekor burung.

Petrified Wood atau Fossilized Wood biasa dipanggil "kayu menjadi batu". Saya quote daripada buku Gemstones Of The World " The wood has not actually become stone as is usually understood by the layman. The organic wood is not changed into stone, but only the shape and structural elements of the wood are preserved. The expert speaks of a pseudomorphosis of chalcedony (or jasper or opal) after wood" - page 148
