Septarian is a distinctive rock whose name comes from the Latin word septum meaning a dividing partition between two tissues or cavities. Today it's used to describe the fleshy partition that separates one nostril from the other. Correctly described as a rock not a mineral because it's made up primarily of three different minerals, it's sometimes likened to a prehistoric mud ball. Septarian has a unique appearance and when used as a lapidary material takes on a high polish. Septarian is composed of the mineral calcite (yellow centre), aragonite or siderite (the brown lines) and limestone which is the outer rock.Septarian nodules are thought to have been formed in shallow lakes as the tide caused the accumulated mass to gently roll back and forth and in doing so, it built up layers of sticky mud which would then have dried out during the hotter months when the water receded. The mud balls were then buried under sediment and the cracks as and when they occurred, were filled through seepage with a crystalline substance such as silica or calcite from shells of dead marine creatures. Crystals subsequently formed which can be seen as the bright yellow centres of septarian. A thin wall of calcite was also transformed into aragonite (crystal form of calcium carbonate) or siderite which separated the heavy clay exteriors from the crystallised centre METAPHYSICAL AND HEALING PROPERTIES OF SEPTARIAN NODULES: The emotional healing properties of this stone will give you the emotional stability that you need, as well as the support and the strength to keep you going. Septarian will also project tenacity and courage, and it will help you stop feeling lost, afraid, or unwanted. Septarian (also called Dragon Stone) is a wonderful stone to wear or carry with you if you speak in public, as it gives you confidence and allows you to gain an audience’s attention. A grounding stone, Septarian allows for better tolerance and patience, as well as emotional flexibility. It can gauge the underlying cause of an illness when meditated upon, and focuses the body into healing itself. Septarian can absorb your energy when held over a period of time and transmits that energy into strength when needed.
