A septarian is a geode-like concretion, often called a "dragon's egg" or "septarian nodule," characterized by a distinctive cracked or partitioned appearance. It's formed from a combination of minerals, including calcite, aragonite, and limestone, and typically contains internal cavities or cracks filled with these minerals, according to the Saint Louis Science Center. 

Here's a more detailed look:

Formation:

• Septarian nodules are formed in a process similar to concretions, where sediment accumulates and hardens around a nucleus, often a fossil.
• The cracks and cavities within the septarian develop as the stone dehydrates and mineral deposits fill them in.
• The process typically occurs in marine environments where organic matter and minerals accumulate. 

Appearance and Composition:

• Septarian nodules have a distinctive cracked or geometric pattern, with internal cracks filled with minerals like calcite (yellow) and aragonite (brown). 
• The outer layer is often a hard limestone or mudstone. 
• The name "septarian" comes from the Latin word "septum," meaning a dividing partition. 

Uses:

• Septarian nodules are popular for decorative purposes and are often displayed as unique geological specimens. 
• Some people believe they have metaphysical properties, such as aiding in grounding, healing, and stress relief. 

In essence, septarian is a fascinating geological formation with a unique appearance and a history spanning millions of years.
