Septarie

Septarie, also called septarian nodule, is a concrete rock composed of a combination of minerals, mostly calcite, aragonite and clay, with cracks filled with crystals. The name refers to the natural cracks ("septaria") created during drying and later filled.

Septarie usually forms in sedimentary environments by shrinkage and crystallisation in muddy deposits. Major deposits include Madagascar, the United States and England. The chemical composition varies by component, but calcite (CaCO₃) is often dominant. Hardness ranges between 3 and 4 on the Mohs scale.

There are no established sub-variants, but septarie from Madagascar is often considered a recognisable and popular form because of its distinct markings and yellowish calcite fill.

Assorted Display Boxes

By sales boxes we mean ready-to-sell boxes or cartons, usually filled with 24 or 35 white folding boxes fitted with a piece of white felt. In the 24-pack variant, the boxes have a size of about 2.5 × 6 × 6.5 cm, and in the 35-pack variant about 2.5 × 5 × 5.5 cm.

Most of the sales boxes are selected and put together by ourselves. In addition, there are variants that are offered differently, for example as batches or in acrylic boxes (such as the Mix 117). We also sometimes receive sales boxes with a different presentation from the supplier; this is always clearly visible in the product photos.

The weights listed under "Additional Information" always refer to the ready to ship weight. If a net weight is relevant, this will be stated separately.
