Your morning coffee can sit on banded agate with these two polished slices.
They were hand polished by a member of our team for a smooth, shiny finish, and the photos show them in use as coasters as well as held up to the sun, where light comes through the bands. One slice is about 3.5 inches across and the other about 4 inches, a good size for a mug or a small glass. As a pair they also work under a candle jar, a small plant pot or a stack of rings on a nightstand. Agate is hard quartz, so it handles daily use well. They make a small, practical gift for a coffee lover or a new apartment. You get this exact pair.
Slice 1 is about 3.5 by 3.25 by 0.25 inches, and slice 2 is about 4 by 4 by 0.25 inches.
Agate is a banded, translucent form of microcrystalline quartz. Its bands form as silica is deposited in layers inside rock cavities by groundwater of changing composition. It is hard and takes a high polish, which is why it has been made into cabochons, beads, bookends and carvings for thousands of years.
Stone Meaning: Agate is traditionally associated with balance and stability.
