Petrified Wood and ?

I found this in my yard decades ago in Brenham, Tx. However, the previous owner, who had died, was quite the rock collector and left the yard filled with petrified wood, large and small so I don't know where he got them. My family also collects rocks and fossils so I made sure to haul a many as I could when we moved to NY.

 My question- is this amber on the rock? It's not a fake, it's not glue, but when I google for info it claims amber on wood is very rare. Could anyone tell me what they think? Thank you

  I added another picture to show what looks like more light colored resin in another area

Thanks. 

I'm having a tough time uploading pics due to erratic wifi service here in rural NY. Here's another photo

Given the location it was found, your piece is most likely chalcedony, not amber.  You can find more information distinguishing it from common opal HERE.
