I'd appreciate opinions as to whether this is Arizona petrified wood

I bought this silver bracelet and I would really appreciate an opinion as to whether the stone could be Arizona petrified wood. I assumed it was maybe picture agate, but a couple people thought maybe it was petrified wood. The bracelet is unsigned and is very heavy gauge silver.Thanks for your help.

It'd hard to say for sure but it has the right coloration for Arizona rainbow petrified wood. It doesn't look your typical picture jasper though. Pretty stone what ever it is!

Looks right for Arizona "picture" wood.

The "picture" wood is from The Chinle formation, which has exposures in New Mexico, Utha, Colorado as well as Arizona.

It is an agate replacement and shows varying stages of preservation. Most shows no wood grain or cell structures at all.

Is that what I'm seeing in the squared areas- growth or cell structure?

 

Thanks so much!

Either that or shrinkage cracks.

Hard to tell from these pictures.

Mark.

 

Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!
