Description

Sepataria is the Key to Purity and Self-Confidence. Septaria is a type of calcite variety. Septaria is instantly recognizable by its brown color and beautiful inclusions, which are often star-shaped. Septarians are found in Utah, Arizona, and Madagascar. Sepatria is a spherical or oval, isolated form found in sedimentary rock formations. Sepatarian concretions are closely related to nodules. Nodules have a rounded structure and occur individually. A concretion, on the other hand, is usually a mass of several nodules. Septarian concretions are formed by diagenesis, a process in which heat and pressure change a rock, but not as extensively as metamorphism. Most concretions occur in limestone and chalk. Clay ironstone is also a rich source of concretions. Some concretions may emerge at the surface (outcrop). Fossils may have formed in these concretions, preserved well-preserved by diagenesis. Besides fossils, agate is sometimes found. Septaria is also known as the Dragon Stone.
