This one has a secret. Turn it and the polished surface opens into a cave, a real geode pocket lined with pale lilac druzy crystals that catch the light in tiny points, like frost on a window. The rest of the sphere is soft blush and cream, scattered with the little starburst plumes that give flower agate its name. Each one looks like a blossom caught mid opening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe plumes are not painted on and not dyed. They are chalcedony that grew outward from a single point over a very long time, which is why no two flower agate spheres are alike and why the pattern keeps going all the way through the stone. Against all that softness, the open pocket is a surprise: raw, crystalline, a little wild.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a substantial piece at 3.3 inches across and just under a pound and a half, and it feels like it in your hand. It comes with the carved wood stand shown, so it is ready to sit on a shelf or a desk the day it arrives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMetaphysical properties\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlower agate is the stone of quiet becoming. It is associated with growth that has not bloomed yet, the plans you have been holding privately, the version of yourself you are still working toward. Practitioners reach for it when someone knows what they want but has been slow to begin, because it is said to soften the fear that sits between wanting and starting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere many stones are worked with for protection or clearing, flower agate is worked with for encouragement. It is linked to self growth without self criticism, to following through gently, and to noticing progress you would otherwise talk yourself out of. The plumes are read as blossoms for exactly that reason, potential made visible in the stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe druzy pocket adds a second note. Druzy quartz is associated with amplification and with clarity, so a flower agate carrying an open crystal cave is often described as growth plus the light to see it by. Held together in one piece, it is a gentle stone with a spark in the middle of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSphere form is traditionally worked with for balance and for sending energy evenly in all directions, which makes this a natural piece for a room where you want the mood settled rather than pointed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural flower agate, also called cherry blossom agate, untreated and undyed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApproximately 3.3 inches in diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 1 pound 6.8 ounces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen druzy geode pocket lined with pale lilac crystals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarved wood display stand included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne of a kind.
