Septarian Nodule 14 Karat Gold Fill Wirewrapped Teardrop Pendant
$115.00
Septarian nodules are found in Utah. They’re also called “mud balls”, as they are concretions of mud that cracked and infiltrated with calcite. Calcite gave way to aragonite. So, calcite comprises the yellowish crystalline interior, aragonite the brown lines, and grey, the limestone mud. They take their name septarian, as they tend to crack in 7 directions, hence, septarian from the Greek septem for “seven”.
