Mineral background
Petrified wood is best approached as a collector mineral rather than a generic decorative crystal. The important details are the confirmed mineral identity, locality, crystal habit, associations on the matrix and the condition shown in close photographs.
How to compare Petrified wood specimens
Look for wood-grain patterns preserved in stone. A strong specimen normally shows its main crystal habit clearly from more than one angle.
Value notes
Pattern, polish, size, colour and locality matter.
Care and handling
Generally stable; dust gently and avoid harsh cleaners.
