Inside, the cave is lined edge to edge with fine druzy quartz in warm gray and brown, and it sparkles from across a room. Low in the cave sits a cream white crystal mound, rounded and sugary, with a band of green running underneath it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt needs no stand. The base is cut flat and it stands on its own, which means you can put it anywhere you want a little weight and a little sparkle, a shelf, a desk, a windowsill, the middle of a console where people will pick it up. The agate is from Uruguay.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet it where light can reach into the cave. Morning light across a shelf is the easiest way to see the druzy do its thing, and the darker the surface underneath it, the more the green in the banding comes forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout 5.25 inches tall, 3 inches wide and 3 inches deep. It weighs 1 pound 15.8 ounces, so it has real presence in the hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAgate is the steadying one. It is the stone people reach for when everything feels loud, the one that asks you to slow down rather than push harder, and it has been carried for that for a very long time. The green here leans it toward the heart, toward patience with yourself and with other people, and a geode in particular is held to be a stone of quiet abundance, a hollow that filled itself slowly over an unimaginable stretch of time and ended up lined with crystal. Keep it where you work, or where you land at the end of the day, and let it be the thing that slows the room down.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne of a kind. You are seeing the exact stone you will receive, photographed from every side.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause natural minerals are delicate and can be damaged by the stress of shipping, we are unable to accept returns.
