This pair is a dark Agate with some Carnelian swirls in it, probably a Brazilian Agate. The sides are natural and unpolished, as visible in slide show photo #3 and last two. The other photos show the sides wet, giving an idea what they would look like if polished (polishing can be done if requested for an additional cost of $45 for one face, both sides). Both sides together, it weighs 5 lbs, 2.5 ounces and measures roughly 4" x 4" with one side 2" thick and the other 2 1/4." Size is suitable for books of medium size. In natural lighting it is closer to how it looks on the light background. (Additional shipping cost for International, please contact us before buying.)

Druse Amethyst Flower Item: 3817 Price: $55.00
Purchasing this item will give you one half of a small, polished Oco Geode nodule, not the ones you see in the photos. These are natural stones from Brazil filled with Agate and Quartz. The centers are full of crystals, some larger, some smaller, surrounded by agate. Each piece is unique, no two are exactly alike. They come in amazing variety as you can get an idea of from the photos. You will not necessarily receive one of those you see in the slide show, but these are good representations of what you will get.
Each one has been polished on the face, bringing out the natural beauty of the agate. Sizes vary, mostly between 1-2" long x 3/4-1" wide and 1-2" thick. But as each piece is one of a kind, you could receive one a little smaller or larger. The weight of each one can be less than an ounce or up to about 2 ounces. If you receive one you are not happy with, just send us a message and we will help ensure you are completely satisfied with your transaction.
Whether one is a collector or lover of rocks and gems, minerals, or crystals, these little stones are awesome for delicate accents in the home or office, or on a shelf for display. (Want free First Class shipping? Email us for an invoice.)
