Yellow Septarian Flame Shape 11.5cm

Yellow Septarian Flame Shape, crystal for sale from Madagascar. This beautiful 11.5cm tall Yellow Septarian crystal dates from the Cretaceous period. It originated as a fossilised mud ball, which over millions of years underwent cycles of cracking and drying out, allowing calcite to leak into the cracks to form the distinctive patterns displayed in this unique stone. The stone has been carefully hand-polished to enhance the rich, earthy grey-brown and yellow tones present in the crystal, and has been carved by artisans into a striking flame shape. This particular piece is mostly smooth and shiny, but one of its contours displays a natural rough edge where the fascinating inner crystal is exposed. Ideal for the collector or as an impressive interior decor piece.
