Septarian <\/b><\/u><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In my opinion this stone is truly fascinating. I have on many occasions gotten lost in the patterns that occur naturally in this mineral. Septarian consists of a combination of Calcite, Aragonite and Limestone along with other minerals depending on the particular stones origins. It\u2019s also known as a Dragon Stone because it\u2019s thought to contain all four elements, but doesn\u2019t it look like a dragon\u2019s egg? Especially when it\u2019s in the form of an egg! It brings to mind what I imagine a dragon\u2019s egg would possibly look like, or at the very least a prehistoric egg of some sort. It really is a striking stone. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s said that this stone is millions of years old, made from molten lava melting the perfect combination of minerals to create this earthly gem. With that being said, I was surprised to find that Septarian\u2019s weren\u2019t listed in many of my crystal books. Not that I believe what\u2019s written is always correct, or that its the only way to define a crystals purpose, but it is nice to have a starting point or additional information when you purchase or receive a new crystal. I\u2019m hoping the authors will someday write a revised edition to their books to include this lovely gem. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a> This stone is said to be used by Shamans for grounding during their journey work. My personal experience with this crystalline structure is when once held, I felt immediately grounded and in sync with the rhythm of the Earth\u2019s energies. On occasion when I have to go to a party or social gathering and I\u2019m feeling a little self conscious or unsure, I will add a Septarian to the stones that I already carry for security and protection. Another reason to carry this crystal is to help boost your self confidence. Whether you\u2019re at a social gathering where many of the attendees are unknown to you, or you\u2019re at school or work and have to speak in front of your peers, this stone will be an asset to help you gain the confidence and conviction to do just that. Septarian\u2019s are really just an all around fantastic stone to have and I hope to add many more to my collection very soon.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
