petrified wood for scales?

[Mike Davis]

I thought this question was asked recently.Petrified means 'turned into stone'.Organic matter has been replaced by minerals . Therefore it's hard and brittle !! Scales no, inlays perhaps.

This was pretty well dealt with recently.Search out the old threads.
