{"product_id":"septarian-dragon-stone","title":"Septarian Dragon Palm Stone","description":"\u003cp\u003eSeptarian is often called dragon stone, and one look at its pattern explains why. Golden yellow calcite veins crack across a gray to brown body like the scales of a dragon or the dry earth of a desert floor. This natural septarian stone is about 50-70mm, a comfortable size to hold, place in a crystal grid or display on a shelf. It feels solid and earthy in the hand and carries an ancient story, since it formed from sea floor sediment millions of years ago. It makes a memorable gift for collectors and fantasy fans alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Highlights\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural septarian, with calcite and aragonite veining\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Polished stone from our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/freeform\"\u003eFreeform Crystals\u003c\/a\u003e collection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e About 50-70mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's included:\u003c\/strong\u003e One septarian dragon stone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSelection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Random Pick.

Because it combines several minerals in one stone, it is often seen as a stone of harmony, helping different parts of life work together. Many people use it when they want patience and the confidence to speak up in groups. Its dragon nickname adds a sense of protection and quiet power.

Keep it away from harder stones that can scratch the surface, and avoid acids, vinegar and harsh cleaners, which damage calcite. Wipe it with a soft cloth, slightly damp if needed, and dry it fully. Avoid long soaks in water.

As these nodules dried and shrank, cracks formed inside them, and over time mineral rich water filled those cracks with calcite and sometimes aragonite. The result is a gray to brown limestone body crossed by golden veins. The name comes from the Latin word for partition, describing those dividing walls. It is sometimes confused with polished jasper, but its distinctive cracked vein pattern is unmistakable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFurther Reading\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/news\/septarian-stone-ancient-dragon-stone-for-grounding-transformation\"\u003eSeptarian Stone: Ancient Dragon Stone for Grounding\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/news\/sea-sediment-crystals-ocean-jasper-septarian-guide\"\u003eSea Sediment Crystals: Ocean Jasper and Septarian Guide\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBring home this septarian dragon stone and keep a piece of ancient sea floor history close at hand.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ali","offers":[{"title":"Septarian \/ 50-70mm","offer_id":48435372523691,"sku":"1005006429276140-Default Title","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/0345\/5915\/files\/Septarian-Dragon-Palm-Stone-Freeforms-Septarian-50-70mm.webp?v=1793254719","url":"https:\/\/www.crystaldestiny.com\/products\/septarian-dragon-stone","provider":"Crystal Destiny","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
