crystals on petrified wood

[micro]

Does anyone know any information on crystal petrified wood like this and or worth anything. I posted this some time back but didn't add all sides so I added to this list of pics. Thanks !

Pretty nice piece there. Judging from the size in the picture it's probably worth $15-$20, but those are a lot of crystals, so it may be worth more, depending on who you sold it to.

the crystals should be quartz. this site explains how petrified wood is formed Metaphysic of Petrified Wood, Physical properties od Petrified Wood

Thank you for your answers! These came from East Tx and am told that petrified wood is found here, the crystal ones are rare.

Really nice if the petrified wood is the real deal. Advise you to show it to some experienced collectors from the nearest gem & mineral club - many of these amateur clubs include very experienced people with tons of info. In any case, you may decide to keep it because it's a groovy item. HAVE FUN! Andi

Looks like Druzy quartz on a piece of fossil wood.

The more I look at it the more I am keeping it. I hit a 'pocket' of them and will have to take them to a pro.
