Bookends

This is a pretty, smaller set of Purple (color enhanced) Brazilian Agate Geode bookends. This set measures 6" x 4 5/8" x 3" with a nice front face polished surface. The set has a darker Purple color with shiny, sparkly accents. Just beautiful.

Agates mostly occur as nodules in volcanic rocks or waters containing silica in solution possibly derived from the decomposition of silicates in the lava. The siliceous matter is deposited in regular layers resulting in the banded or striped formation.

This set weighs 3 lbs. 15 ozs.

Here is a nice set of above average quality Septarian Bookends. This material is from Utah. The set measures 9 1/2" x 4 3/4" x 2 1/4" and has a nice polish on the front face. These bookends have a felt cushion in the center and bottom areas for additional protection.

Septarians were formed during the Cretaceous period, 50 to 70 million years ago when the Gulf of Mexico reached what is now Southern Utah. Decomposing sea life killed by volcanic eruptions, had a chemical attraction for the sediment around them, forming mud balls. As the ocean receded, the balls were left to dry and crack. Because of their Bentonite content they also shrank at the same time trapping the cracks inside. The decomposed Calcite from the shells was carried down into the cracks in the mud balls, Calcite crystals formed. A thin wall of calcite was transformed into aragonite separating the Bentonite heavy clay exteriors from the calcite centers. Thus, the nodules are called Septarians. Septarians are composed of Calcite (The Yellow Centers), Aragonite (The Brown Lines) and the Outer Grey Rock is Limestone. Occasionally the fossil or some of the fossils which started the formation of the rock is noticeable in the rock.

This set weighs 7 lbs. 6 ozs.
