DRAGON SCALE STONE

Dragon scales, a trade name for iron nodules with polygonal patterns, are found in the Hell Creek Formation of North Dakota. These stones form alongside fossils of Cretaceous dinosaurs, including powerful species like Tyrannosaurus Rex and Triceratops. Although they are often found in the presence of these fossils, they are not fossils themselves. Composed primarily of iron oxides, with a core of siderite and an outer layer of limonite darkened by manganese oxides, these stones have an intriguing and unique appearance.

When studying the metaphysical properties of these stones, one draws on historical uses, energy signatures, and the accounts of those who first worked with them. Traditionally, iron-rich rocks, such as these dragon scales, are associated with masculine qualities such as protection, confidence, and vitality, due to the symbolic connection between iron and the making of tools and weapons.

The polygonal pattern found on these stones, often with an eye-shaped center, is interpreted as a symbol of protection from negativity and of spiritual and psychic development. The iron nodules form individually in beds between the sedimentary layers, and the inner geometric patterns are revealed when the outer layer is cracked, revealing their natural beauty.

Those who have worked with dragon scales have reported noticeable effects, including modulation of their energetic sensitivity and increased awareness of energetic connections. These stones appear to reveal subtle energetic connections, helping to recognize imbalances caused by inappropriate connections with other people, while also enhancing spiritual protection.
