Septarian Dragon’s Egg Geode from Madagascar – Polished Display

A Jurassic Wonder, Cracked Open by Time

This beautiful Septarian “Dragon’s Egg” from Ambondromamy in the Betsiboka Region of Madagascar is a striking blend of natural geology and sculptural form. Polished into an elegant egg shape and opened to reveal a dark, sparkling crystal-filled interior, it creates a dramatic contrast between the smooth outer surface and the rich, textured cavity within. Weighing 1919 grams and measuring approximately 135mm high, 105mm wide and 105mm deep, this is a substantial and impressive display specimen.

Septarian is a fascinating type of concretion that began forming millions of years ago from ancient marine muds and sediments. As these sediments dried and contracted, they developed cracks, which were later filled by mineral-rich fluids. Over time, minerals such as calcite, aragonite, and limestone crystallised in these spaces, creating the distinctive network of dark lines and patterns that make Septarian so instantly recognisable.

Specimens from this region of Madagascar date back to the Middle to Late Jurassic period, making them approximately 145 to 174 million years old—formed in an era when dinosaurs still walked the Earth and warm seas covered much of the planet.
