Petrified wood is commonly referred to as fossilized or agatized wood.  It has been identified as a member of the Quartz family.  Most people believe that wood actually turns into stone, but this is a common misconception.  The wood appears to have remained, but this is only the outer physical form of the wood. After petrification is complete, all of the wood is replaced by silicon dioxide, which is why petrified wood is considered part of the quartz family.

Petrified Wood History: Petrified wood is often considered a sacred heirloom from the past, as it begins by encapsulating ancient plant material like giant sequoias or other primeval trees.  It is thought that the ancient ancestors of Italy, the Etruscans, used petrified wood to create handmade religious objects.  Etruscan tradition followers now think of petrified wood as a window to the past, using it to recollect ancient memories.
