About Septarian

Septarian is a concretion: a nodule of carbonate rich mudstone that cracked as it formed, leaving angular blocks separated by mineral filled seams. The filling is usually calcite, often yellow to brown, and the name comes from the Latin septum, meaning partition. Despite the nickname dragon stone and a passing likeness to dinosaur eggs, these nodules are geological formations, not fossils.

Stone Meaning: Septarian is traditionally associated with patience and communication.
