Petrified wood are the fossilised remains of terrestrial vegetation. It is the (end) product of a natural, organic decay process (which takes millions of years) of organic material (in this case wooden trees) by the process of permineralization. All the organic materials have been replaced with minerals, while retaining the original structure of the stem tissue. The petrifaction process only takes place under specific circumstances, occurs underground and takes up millions of years to be completed. The minerals present in the ground determine the colouring of the object.
