Septarian
Septarian, also known as Septarian Nodules or Dragon Stones, is a unique and intriguing stone that forms a captivating combination of minerals, typically including calcite (yellow centers), aragonite (brown lines), and limestone (grey or white outer layer). The name "Septarian" comes from the Latin word "septum," meaning "partition," referring to the cracks or separations in this stone. These nodules are believed to have formed during the Cretaceous Period, about 50 to 70 million years ago, when sea levels were much higher. Mud balls formed on the sea floor, and as they dried and cracked, minerals such as calcite and aragonite seeped into the cracks, creating the distinctive patterns we see today.
Septarian nodules are found in various locations around the world, including the United States (especially in Utah and Nevada), Madagascar, New Zealand, Canada, and England. Their unique appearance, with natural cracks and fissures, makes them highly sought after for decorative objects, jewelry, and spheres, as well as for their metaphysical properties.
