Septarian Nodules
The Gem Shop has received a new shipment of Septarian Nodules. We have them available as specimens and polished slabs. Septarian nodules were formed during the Cretaceous period, 50 to 70 million years ago when the Gulf of Mexico reached to what is now Southern Utah. Decomposing sea life killed by volcanic eruptions, had a chemical attraction for the sediment around them, forming mud balls. The name Septarian is derived from the Latin name, Septem, meaning seven. This relates to the fact that the mud balls cracked with 7 points in every directions thereby creating the beautiful design. Septarians are composed of Calcite (the yellow centers), Aragonite (the brown lines), and the outer gray rock is Limestone.
