Natural carnelian agate, no dye — deep red-brown running to near-black at the core, ringed by a clean band of milk-white and pale blue where the chalcedony crystallized. The shape is irregular, the outer rind left rough and pink-grey against the polished face. A catchall by the door, a tray for what leaves your pockets. One of a kind, the exact piece you'll receive.

STRATA · VEIN · WEIGHT

STRATA — Natural carnelian agate, cut from the nodule and polished to a glassed face, the outer rind left raw.
VEIN — Red-brown body darkening at the core, ringed in milk-white and pale blue. No two agates band the same; this is the exact piece you'll receive. The photo guides you to color and pattern — it isn't a contract.
WEIGHT — A hand-weight slice; measured per piece.

STYLE IT

One object, many rooms:

• Entry catchall for keys, coins, and cards.
• Bedside table: a tray for a watch and rings overnight.
• Coffee-table dish for a candle or small trinkets.
• Desk tray for clips, a ring, a pair of studs.
• Wall and shelf art — lean it on a small easel, or mount it, for a warm-toned accent.
• Flat-lay base for styling and photographing small pieces.

ORIGIN

Agate forms slow — mineral-rich water laying down band over band inside a volcanic pocket, ages at a time, until the cavity closed. What you hold is that record, cut across. The strata occurs once. Earth, unobscured.
