That’s a beautiful piece! I’m no expert but it kinda looks like some type of blue chalcedony geode, but it could be some sort of fossilized tree!

Looks like a petrified limb, replaced by Chalcedony and quartz crystals, I'd have that beauty out back and in my saw quick like cutting slabs lol, awesome find!

Any idea how much it might be worth? There's more than the one

It's a quartz filled vug. It's not petrified wood.

Quartz is the most common mineral so it's value is in the eye of the beholder. Try cutting some slices, polishing them and see what the market will bring. If you keep track of your costs and time you will find out whether the market can provide a profit on your material.

Usually quartz rocks sell for very little but if this turns out to be particularly attractive you might have a winner. How much material like this have you found?

If you have more I'd live to see some in good lighting, sunlight is good, Clay Diggins is more experienced than I, people online are selling specimens like your's and calling them petrified limb cast, that's honestly why I said that's what they were, it sure looks like it IMO, but the answer to what it's worth is what someone is willing to pay for it, I've learned that over the years, sure you can ask any price you want, doesn't mean you'll ever get it, I've seen specimens for sale on etsy that have been listed for the last five year's with no takers, if you are in a bad spot and need money, Ebay bid is your best bet, you won't have any trouble getting rid of that material, but what you will make will be what someone is willing to pay.
