BK101c This is a very pretty set of Dugway Geode bookends. This gorgeous set has a beautiful design and very nice sparkling Geode cavity on the both sides. The bookends measure 10 3/4' wide x 5 1/8' tall x 2 7/8' with highly polished face and grey felt on the inner and bottom surfaces for protection.
These Agate Bookends are dyed and polished to reveal naturally occurring patterned rings. Each piece is subtly one of a kind, bringing a little. In the case of septarian nodules the concretions formed around decaying sea-life in a marine environment. The exact mechanism for how the cracks form in the concretions is a mystery. One possible mechanism is the dehydration of the clay-rich core of a concretion causing it to shrink and crack.
This cute bookend geode set comes from ancient volcanic deposits found in western Utah near the town of Dugway. The cracks in the concretions are then filled in with minerals such as calcite (yellow) and aragonite (brown) and sometimes pyrite causing the very interesting patterns, which have often been described as dragon's skin. They are frequently found as geodes with hollow, calcite crystal filled cavities.
Agate is calming and soothing, and can dispel feelings of jealousy. It enhances creativity and stimulates the intellect. Agate tones and strengthens body and mind, as well as imparting a sense of strength and courage.
