Petrified wood in metamorphic rock?

Hello!

 

Please help me find out if the arched bands showing up after polishing this metamorphic rock are just random artifacts of sedimentation or an indication for petrified wood?

The material reacts to vinegar. I picked the stone in Romania, Harghita county.

Sounds like calcite in sandstone. If it takes a polish metamorphic to some degree is a safe bet. I don't think it's wood.

The white material, the grey rock or both? 

Both. None energetically (to table vinegar), but both produce bubbles.
