Septarian Dragon Stone:

Septarian is a unique stone found in only a few places on Earth. In the USA, septarians are found near Zion National Park in Southern Utah, while other notable sources include Mahajanga in Madagascar and Morocco. These fascinating stones formed on ancient seafloors during the Cretaceous Period, approximately 50 to 70 million years ago. Over time, they weathered out of gray or tan clay hills and could once be collected directly from the surface. Today, however, excavation requires bulldozers, as the nodules are typically buried 20 to 30 feet underground. Each septarian nodule is distinct, varying greatly in color and shape, making it especially prized for its unusual and striking appearance.
