I can distinctly picture the set of brown agate coasters that sat on our coffee table when I was a kid. I hated them. And now I can’t seem to get enough of the stuff, my how times change. Although I’m certain the jewel tones don’t hurt either. (via Alice)
I’ve seen these new ones around quite a bit (even at TJ Maxx). As a kid I had a little rock collection, and I’m still drawn to agates and the like. Mind boggling to know that the planet MAKES them! Crazy.

this made me remember when i used to go to this random rock store with my dad in south florida when i was little, and i always used to buy shards of agate. i had such a great collection, and i have no idea where it all went!

i’m not obsessed with rocks but these are beautiful right? i mean i don’t think it’s just me – they are really captivating! i would be so scared to break them though! i would need coasters for these coasters…

Agate seems to be pretty popular theses days I was on the hunt for agate books ends and found out that West Elm had them..but sadly no longer has them in stock. I am loving everything agate right now!
