Authentic Agate Book End, Teal Agate Bookend Pair - 6 lb - Geode Bookends,

This pair of teal, blue and white crystalline agate are sold in a pair and are from Brazil. If you are a geode buff and love a natural look of nature's creation, these are for you. These are beautiful handmade agate bookends! Each bookend is cut, and polished by hand in Brazil from rough agate geodes. Geodes are hollow, egg-shaped rocks that form in sedimentary and volcanic rocks. They are created when air bubbles get trapped in cooling lava, which can happen during volcanic eruptions. The air bubbles leave space for groundwater to seep in, which brings minerals with it. These minerals build up on each other to form crystals, which line the hollow cavity in the rock. The process can take thousands or even millions of years, with the larger the crystals, the older the geode is. Each agate geode is hand selected for it's natural beauty from rough material, hand cut in halves, polished and dyed. The overall condition of the book ends are in almost perfect condition. There is one chip on the rear portion of one of the geodes. Please see picture for chip. It would not be noticeable because it is on the rear of the bookend. I have adjusted the price for the chip. Measurements: Length, Front of each Geode: 4.5 inches Height, from base to top of Geode: 5.5 inches Width of each geode: 2 inches
