Beautiful Earthy Geode Agates

This is a great find from my Tucson trip this year and with geodes, you never really know what you are going to get until you crack them open. And these set of 5 bookends are no exception when it comes to high quality and stunning beauty. When I found these bookends I was hooked by their brilliant colors and striking drusy centers. They are all very heavy and solid, highly polished on three sides with the backside left in the rough. 

Each one is unique in color and the way they have been cut. It took a large diamond tip saw blade to cut these magnificent treasures. The colors of each range of sunsets to earthy tones and skylines. You have rusty orange with hues of cream, another in creamy white with hues of gray, a striking changes of blues, and the other two are in light colors of beige and hues of very light pale pink. 
What I think makes these bookends so unique and stunning is the drusy centers. Each center is a complimentary color to the agate, some are in a dark colors and others more of a pale. They all are so full of sparkle and really catch the light, a perfect compliment against the very high polish of these geode agates colors. The pictures really do not do these the justice of their beauty.
