Supply Chain for Septarian Nodule Heart

This Septarian Nodule comes from artisanal miners in Madagascar. The exact deposit is unknown, but most likely had a low environmental impact and would have been relatively low risk for miners.

This lapidary hand polishes stones in Antananarivo, Madagascar. It is a woman-owned and family-run business. Factory workers have safe conditions and are paid fairly. The lapidary sells primarily at one major gem show in the United States. Every year the lapidary takes on a major charity project at a rural school. Previous projects have included installing bathrooms, creating a playground, and building a sunshelter for parents.

I first met the owner of the lapidary at the 2006 Gem and Mineral show in Tucson, Arizona. At that time I was working for a crystal shop in Utah and was at Tucson primarily as a “pack mule” to help carry all the stones. It was generally agreed by our crew that the “Madagascar” tent contained the most beautiful stones in the entire show.

In 2014, I embarked on my first buying trip for Moonrise Crystals. The company I knew of only as “Madagascar” was the one company I was most determined to find and buy from. This lapidary company only sells at a handful of major gem shows. The only time they are in the USA is for the Tucson Gem Show. During the rest of the year, the lapidary hand polishes their stock and also does charity work in their local community. They continue to offer some of the most beautiful tumbled stones in the industry and are among my favorite suppliers.

In 2019, Moonrise Crystals and the Madagascar lapidary company joined together to financially support a rural school in Madagascar. In 2022, we plan to build a library with books in Malagassi and French.

Septarian Nodule Heart Healing, Mineralogy, and History

Published July 2015  •  Updated August 2024  •  Read Time: 5 minutes
Septarian Nodule is a fascinating sedimentary rock that was formed during the time of the dinosaurs.  It is a combination of several minerals, including Aragonite, Barite, Betonite and Calcite.  The most famous specimens come from Madagascar and Utah, USA.  Both deposits look very similar with a vivid yellow entwined with grey and brown.  But stones in other deposits have a different coloring, such as black and orange.  Because of its scaly and cracked appearance, it is sometimes marketed as “Dragon Stones”, a name that dates back to a Malagasy legend that dragons once roamed the area.  Septarian Nodule is a stone of patience, purpose and confidence.
