Amber in petrified wood?

Allegedly only seven pieces have been found, but I found a piece of petrified wood that had amber running down the top of it; and around it are scattered drops of it. I know it’s amber, but how rare is this?

I'm not convinced this is wood or amber. The "only seven pieces found" statement sounds like nonsense to me.

Canada is a pretty big place. "only seven pieces found"...where? A more precise location and stratigraphy if known might help. Did you find this yourself?

How do you "Know"  this is amber?

Have you performed tests to determine that it is amber?

If it is petrified wood, and that will remain in doubt without very sharp closeups, then there is almost no chance that is amber because amber preserves under very different conditions than those that create petrified wood. It is way more likely to be a vein of some sort of silica mineral.
