Quality of the crystal itself, flaws, the cut, peculiar properties (if it is going tbe used in magic) and so on all affect the end value of dragonshards. I would suggest that Khyber and Siberys shards be a little more rare and therefore valueable than Eberron shards, if only because they come from far away.

An Eberron dragonshard big enough and pure enough to create a 2rd level spell wand is "worth" about 2250 gp; a slightly flawed dragonshard that can only handle a first-level spell is "worth" a mere 325 gp. But they couldn't be used as general currency--you have to sell them to people or industries that are going to use them. Ben
