Big, heavy and a vivid ocean teal, this is the bookend pair for a serious book collection. The two halves of one Brazilian agate geode are polished on the faces and dyed teal, so the banding and crystal center glow in blue-green tones.
With 9 to 12 pounds between them, they keep coffee-table books and heavy hardcovers upright without sliding. On a mantel, console or office shelf they double as a sculptural display, and the natural rough backs add a rugged contrast to the glossy fronts. They make an impressive gift for readers and collectors.
Agate is microcrystalline quartz, rated 7 on the Mohs scale. It forms in bands inside rock cavities as silica-rich groundwater deposits layer after layer, and some cavities become crystal-lined geodes. Because agate is slightly porous, bright colors like teal are achieved with dye.
Are these the largest size? The 9 to 12 lb pair is our large size, best for hardcovers and heavier books.
Is teal a natural agate color? No, the agate is natural but the teal color is dyed.
