Physical Characteristics: Agate cut into heavy slabs and shaped into bookends. Agate is a variety of chalcedony, which is in the Quartz family with a hardness of 7. Though Agate readily accepts and is often dyed, we believe this Agate is naturally colored and has not been dyed.
Metaphysical Properties: The energy of Agate can be more subtle than other stones since it seems to have a lower frequency. It can help balance energies. If you need aid with persistence and bringing tasks to completion Agate is the stone for you! It also can protect against negative energies. Please note that these bookends are great for smaller books, or a few large books, but they don't have enough weight to support a large book collection.
