UNUSUAL SEPTARIA - two halves cut and polished - Morocco
« backSEPTARIA
An gorgeous little septarian nodule - cut and polished to a mirror finish
Atlas Mountains, Morocco
Septarian nodules, or 'septaria', are remarkable natural objects. They are concretions containing a network of internal cracks that have been filled with minerals, usually calcite. This is an unusual 'triangular' nodule.
The cracks are called ‘septa’ from the Latin word septum or ‘partition’, which gives the nodules their name. Exactly how these nodules were formed is still not fully understood.
