7.9" Septarian Obelisk polished standup point display stone from Madagascar.  This display piece has been cut flat on the bottom, allowing the piece to stand on its own nicely.  All of the faces of the piece are polished for a smooth finish.  These Septarian crystals were formed about 100 million years ago.  Decomposing sea shells had an attraction for the surrounding sediment, forming mud balls under the sea.  Tide and wave action rolled these balls around, creating sedimentary balls of a larger size.  As the ocean receded, the balls were left to dry and crack, allowing Calcite crystals to form within them.  A thin wall of Calcite transformed into Aragonite, dividing the shale exteriors from the Calcite crystals.  The name Septarian is derived from these dividing walls (septum in Latin.)  This six-sided hexagonal obelisk was then carved and polished from this material in Madagascar.  Piece weighs over 2 1/2 lbs.  A great piece for display and collection.
