Septarian
nodules are unusual to look at and can vary considerably in colour and shape. In contrast to most geodes, which are volcanic
in nature, septarians are a form of sedimentary geode. They formed on sea beds millions of years ago and, when they dried
out, they cracked and formed hollow interiors. The interiors usually become either partly or completely full with other minerals,
such as calcite, giving septarian its unusual texture and features.
Metaphysical
Properties:
Septarian
has a nurturing and calming energy, reminding ourselves to nurture ourselves, others and ideas. As they're essentially a gift
from the natural resource of the earth, they can also remind us to stop and give thanks to Mother Earth.
The
name Septarian comes from the Latin word, Septem, or seven. They're called this because when the balls cracked and created
their unique designs, there are said to have been seven cracks in each direction..
