Petrified Wood is a type of a fossil as it consists of fossil wood
where all the organic materials have been replaced with minerals while
retaining the original structure of the wood. These minerals are most
often Silicates such as Quartz. Other minerals, Manganese, Iron and
Copper, in the water or mud during the petrification process give
Petrified Wood a variety of color ranges: black - Carbon; green/blue -
Copper; red/brown/yellow - Iron. Petrified Wood can preserve the
original structure of the wood in all its detail all the way down to
the microscopic level. Structures such as tree rings and the various
tissues are often observed features. |

Obsidian is a type of naturally-occurring glass formed as an
extrusive igneous rock. It is produced when felsic lava erupted from
a volcano, cools rapidly through the glass transition temperature and
freezes without sufficient time for Crystal growth. Because of the
lack of Crystal structure, Obsidian blade edges can reach almost
molecular thinness, leading to its ancient use of projectile points
(arrow heads), and its modern use as surgical scalpel blades. |

Quartz is the second most common mineral in the Earth's
continental crust. It is mainly composed of Silica or Silica based
minerals. Although Quartz is known by a variety of names, the most
important distinction between types of Quartz is that of
macro-crystalline, individual crystals visible to the unaided eye, and
micro-crystalline, where aggregates of crystals are only visible under
high magnification. There are many forms of Quartz including
Chalcedony, Amethyst, Citrine, and Carnelian which are results of
mineral impurities or heat treatments. |
