That is amazing grain in that wood, erm, I mean stone. It is stone, right?

You right, you pic could use some work.
But those points are picture perfect!!! That last one has to be some sort of petrified wood. Really amazing the difference in color between the rings. It takes a special knapping skill to chase a stone ring.
