According to isotopic geological data reported by the National Park Service it takes millions of years for wood to become petrified. Petrified wood results when felled trees become buried under mud or volcanic as...h. The wood, sealed off from oxygen, interacts with mineral compounds, such as silica. Over millions of years the silica crystallizes within the cellular structure of the wood, at which point it is petrified. Petrified wood often takes on the colors of the minerals that have solidified in its pores. Minerals, including silica dissolved from volcanic ash, absorbed into the porous wood over hundreds and thousands of years Crystallized within the cellular structure, replacing the organic material as it broke down over time.Sometimes crushing or decay will leave cracks in the logs. Thanks for Looking : )
