Notes specific to this specimen: An entirely unique item, this septarian nodule was excavated and carved into a bowl by Jon in 2018. The specimen is from the famous Muddy Creek septarian beds in southern Utah, east of Zion National Park. Our friends own a mining claim there and we periodically visit them to collect nodules. Most septarians are not conducive to carving into bowls. This is the only septarian nodule bowl ever sculpted by Jon. He kept it as his own since the day he sculpted it. Alas, it is being displaced from his personal collection by other, larger projects. It has a beautiful shine and fluoresces nicely under UV light. Jon has indicated he may – or may not! – ever do another one.
SIZE: 6″ x 6″ x 4″
