Crystallized petrified wood, opalized wood and similar pieces are mainly priced for buying/selling by type, size, rarity and locale where found. It actually will boil down to the old chestnut : Whatever the market will bear" This isn't necessarily a bad thing. You may find incredibly 'cheap' prices in little out-of-the-way places, off the beaten track, but at the same time, I have found outstanding bargain prices all over the internet. If you're buying or selling, make sure you know exactly what you have/want and just research all you can about the particular piece(s) you have/want.

The wood in the Petrified Forest became petrified through a process called permineralization. When trees fell and were buried under sediment, mineral-rich water seeped in, replacing the organic material cell by cell. Over millions of years, the silica and other minerals crystallized, turning the wood into stone while preserving its original structure and appearance. This process results in the colorful, fossilized logs seen today.
