TWO SEPTARIAN NODULES
Belgium
39 × 36 × 5 cm (not including stand)
Another theory suggests that an earthquake compaction or other geologic forces fractured material within sedimentary cavities. Whatever the cause, the sedimentary material fractured, and mineral-rich fluids filled the spaces between the breaks, allowing calcite, siderite, pyrite and other minerals to crystallize in the open areas within the cavity. It is almost like the Japanese Kintsugi repair method for ceramics, in which pulverised gold powder is inserted into the cracks of a broken object to make it relive anew in a mesmerising fashion.
These fabulous specimens are two almost identical septarian nodules, two concretions of rock, formed into egg–shaped natural sculptures and mounted on elegant, plain metal stands. The fine nodules are laced with chocolate calcite, and this combination of minerals makes for an interesting contrast in texture as well as colour.
These objects would be a very special addition to a collection of geological curiosities for any modern treasure hunter.
