This carefully crafted septarian bear carving is the perfect item to add to your display. Its unique design and hand-made qualities make it a one-of-a-kind item, sure to bring an interesting element to any collection.
Septarian is a mud concretion which formed on an ancient sea bed or floor. In very rare instances fossil remains of various ocean floor dwellers may be found inside the septarian. Theories vary as to what caused crystals to form inside. Scientists do agree that the process of formation is very unusual and complex. This specimen is approximately 50 - 70 million years old.
Septarians usually have a pattern of jagged veins on the inside. The different minerals that make up the Septarian include yellow calcite, brown aragonite, white or clear barite with grey rock called limestone forming the nodule. The Septarian may be solid or it may contain a hollow cavity that is filled with calcite crystals. The hollow Septarians are sometimes called Septarian geodes.
A lot of work goes into digging Septarian nodules, as well as into cutting, polishing, and preparing the pieces for display. Septarian nodules are a scientific find as well as a link to our distant past. Collector specimens such as this one of a kind bear carving should be treasured and preserved for future generations.
