Weight of Petrified People

[Tonguez]

So going from that density table at x3 flesh to stone must turn a creature into Diamond! (3x the Specific Gravity of Flesh) so imagine a crystal cavern filled with diamond statues from petrified creatures

and imagine the value!

hmm Diamond Gorgon with Petrifying breath...

I suppose petrification forms might create different types of stone, depending on the caster. Or maybe the caster can choose. I can imagine dwarf mages turning enemies into hematite and smelting them. You could get 700 lbs of iron out of a 200 lb. character...

Well, now I guess we know where all those bad guys get all that Itallian Marble for their throne rooms....
