Utah Septarian Treasures

Utah Septarian Treasures Kim & Brenda Sanders mine Septarian Nodules in S. Utah, then cut and polish them in their garage. Utah Septarian Nodules are very rare and unique.

Septarian nodules are concretions containing angular cavities or cracks. Septarians were formed during the Cretaceous period, 50 to 70 million years ago when the Gulf of Mexico reached what is now Southern Utah. Some believe that they were formed from a chemical attraction caused by sea life that were killed by volcanic eruptions. Most nodules have a solid calcite crystal center and others are hol

low with dogtooth crystals. The outer part is bentonite (clay) and the thin brown layer separating the calcite and bentonite is aragonite. Sometimes you'll find barite crystals poking out of the calcite crystals and occasionally one or more fossils are noticeable in the rock. In 2014 Kim and Brenda Sanders along with their children created Utah Septarian Treasures. They mine the septarians in Southern Utah then, cut and polish them in their garage.

It’s been a while, so here’s an update on us but mostly on Kim. He’s had some challenging health issues for the last six months. Actually for a couple of years now. Most recently he had open heart surgery for a valve replacement and is now sporting a brand new pacemaker. He is a couple of months into recovery, is doing great and will be back to work shortly.
We are licensed in the city of Hurricane Utah for our at home lapidary shop where he also keeps up his eBay store.
We welcome customers/friends, and rock lovers of all ages.
We hope to see many of you at the Southern Utah rock show. It is close to home and the only rock show we do now.
We want those of you that were aware of our situation and praying for us to know how much we appreciate it.
Thanks everyone! We hope to see you soon!
And thanks to our son Kiley for his time and attention to our video and Facebook updates. He’s pretty awesome!
