The Petrified Wood appraisal value depends on whether the wood fossils have been polished. The rough fossil wood does not have much value to it. Only after it has been cut and polished is when it becomes valuable. The most sought after specimens are those that can be used for home decor furniture. Perfectly shaped stumps with a fine texture can be worth thousands of dollars on the open market. www.indogemstone.com/petrifie...
