Septarians are very desirable because of their contrasting colors, unique patterns and their stunning calcite crystals. Since fossils started the formation of the rock, they are often found in the Septarian, making it even more unique.

Septarians are sedimentary rocks that lie in a three foot layer of clay sediment which is usually found 40 - 50 feet beneath the earth's surface. Because of the depth, heavy mining equipment is needed to peel back the layers of time covering these gems of the ancient sea. Septarians are found in a variety of sizes. Once the Septarians are out of the ground, they are taken to a lapidary shop that specializes in bringing out the natural beauty of the rock through cutting, grinding and polishing.

COMPOSITION: Calcite (the yellow centers) Aragonite (the brown lines)

Limestone (the outer grey rock which is the bentonite clay replaced with limestone)

Barite (White/Clear)
