Hey there! I was recently given this beautiful chunk of petrified wood. I have found pieces through the years but this is the first I've ever seen with crystals which has intrigued me to learn about them more. I was wondering if this piece is possibly burned wood? It came from somewhere around the Mesa Arizona area I think I'm still trying to confirm that but definitely Arizona. Other then knowing it is petrified wood I would like to hear any info anyone may can give about it.

Nice piece of petrified wood!

The black parts does not mean its burnt, but whatever the mineral is, is black. Not sure what it is though.
