Obelisk are a four sided, narrow tapering monument which ends in a pyramid shape at the top. Coming from Greek term obeliskos, obelisk were prominent in the architecture of the ancient Egyptians and were called tekhenu. For Egyptians, the obelisk was a reverential monument, commemorating the dead, representing their kings, and honouring their gods.


Septarian is a natural concretion which is a hard, compact mass of sedimentary rock formed by the settlement of minerals in water with natural cement within the spaces between the sediment grains, creating highly variable patterns of yellow Calcite encased/ringed with Brown Aragonite. The word Septum comes from the Latin word; partitions.
