Septaria Ball from Madagascar
Large Model
Septaria is a stone composed of a mixture of yellow calcite and sandstone, found mainly on the island of Madagascar, characterized by highly visible shrinkage cracks. These highly visible cracks, known as Septa, fill with minerals over time.
When the stone is polished, these cracks stand out well, giving it a dragon's egg appearance on the outside, or at least what one imagines a dragon's egg to look like...
With time, tectonic movements, etc., the nodules can be fractured and new mineral solutions can invade the shrinkage cracks, often calcite.
In our case, Septaria has been polished into a ball shape.
