Septarian Crafted in Sterling Silver
Polished septarian gem-grade stone mounted as a pendant in a fine sterling silver setting.
The name of this material comes from the Latin 'septum' meaning a dividing partition between two tissues or cavities. That's a pretty good description of what it is.
Featuring crystals of yellow calcite and the minerals aragonite and limestone, septarian is often described as a geological curiosity.
Stones of this size are rarely seen in jewellery.
There are some natural marks in the yellow calcite that could possibly have been polished out. For this reason this piece has been slightly reduced.
This striking septarian pendant comes with one of our Italian made sterling silver snake chains.
