$28.00 SEP104c  This is a polished Slab from an Utah Septarian Nodule.  It measures 7 1/2" x 5 1/2" x 1/2". This one has lots of Brown Aragonite with contrasting Yellow Calcite and a beautiful polish. 

Septarians are commonly composed of a carbonate mineral such as Calcite, a microcrystalline form of Silica as in Flint or Jasper, or an Iron Oxide such as Hematite.  These specimens are also known as a concretion which is a type of sedimentary rock. 

Septarians were formed millions of years ago by sediment forming around a fossil to create a mud ball transforming the fossil into Calcite and Aragonite.

SEP103b This is an awesome Septarian Free Form  carved from a Septarian Nodule originating from Utah. The Free Form has an awesome sparkly crystal cavity.  This large Septarian specimen measures 7 1/4" x 6 1/4"  x 4" and has a nice polish.  There is one small edge section of the crystal cavity broken off (on the bottom right in the picture as shown to the right). It still displays nicely but our price does reflect the minor flaw. 

The Free Form weighs nearly 6 lbs and has felt on the bottom to keep from marring surfaces it rests on.  A very beautiful carving indeed!
