這是真的嗎？
 Is this real?
有人能幫我嗎？

Can someone help me?

Looks real to me. 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Yes, it looks like a lot of the polished wood pieces I've seen coming out of Madagascar. 

Nice.

That may be true, but this piece is real.

I can't imagine someone faking petrified wood (unless it was a rare type, opalized or a massive piece). Otherwise it wouldn't be worth the effort.

[Cat777]

thank you very much

There is a place in China where even eggs are fake

[Cat777]

This kind of thing is very common in China

[Cat777]

But I really want to believe

[Cat777]

But it looks real, so it shouldn't be a fake.

[Cat777]

Is there any way you can imagine that the eggs are all fake? In China you can find...

[Cat777]

As long as there is money to be made in fake fossils, people will try hard, especially China

[doushantuo]

Cat, that remark might be construed wrongly or seen in the wrong light.

Just saying

[Cat777]

See the spar with silicon dioxide inside

There was a small piece of peeling off before and this wood has some fibrous tissue left

Ok. Looks like pet. wood. What now?

[Cat777]

It should have been fully crystallized how could this be?

[Fossildude19]

Flame test.

[Cat777]

no flames, but a little sparkle

A bit of suspicion when acquiring a new fossil is completely understandable and actually wise.

Even a tad of paranoia is quite acceptable. 

But not too much. 

This piece is absolutely genuine.
