Need bookends that hold a row of heavy hardcovers and still look good doing it? These large pink agate bookends bring a magenta hue and natural banding to the shelf.
The faces are polished smooth, so the agate pattern shows clearly, and the cut bases sit flat on a shelf or desk. Their weight is the practical part: solid stone keeps books upright without sliding, which lighter metal or wood bookends often cannot do. The pink color is dyed, which is how agate gets this saturated magenta, and the dye follows the stone's own bands, so the pattern is natural even if the color is added. They suit an office, a reading corner, a bedroom shelf or a pink themed room, and they make a thoughtful gift for a book lover, a teacher or a new home. This is the exact pair shown.
The bookends are about 6.5 by 9 by 3.5 inches. Look at the ruler photo for scale, and the shelf photo shows them holding three books.
About Dyed Agate
Agate is a banded, translucent form of microcrystalline quartz. Because it is porous, most vividly colored agate in the trade is dyed, and the dye soaks into the bands at different rates, which is why the color follows the stone's natural pattern. The stone underneath is the same hard, durable quartz.
Stone Meaning: Agate is traditionally associated with balance and stability.
