These are going to cost you a TON to ship! Some sort of quartz, I'd guess.

Mar 23rd, 2013 at 6:34:40 PM PDT by

i don't think so.... not with flat rate.... "if it fits, it ships" that's their logo; right? hehe
i thought the same thing too at first

thx

They appear to be lace agate. Most of the time, the lines through this stone look curly or frilly-looking; but, can be straight across like these. Depends on how the stone is cut.

YAY! i knew someone on this site would know. thank you.
i'm totally amazed by what i learn from people's knowledge about different things on this site.
so is lace agate like marble or granite or???

BTW, I forgot to mention it; but yes, they are bookends. (I've been a rock hound since I was a very little kid). =DDD

Went to favbuy.com; saw horsehead bookends of this same rock; it is a rare tan onyx; bookends sell for $425 dollars by a professional interior designer, Brittany Stiles, from L.A, California; TAN ONYX!! WORTH ALOT OF MONEY. IF I DID NOT HAVE ALL MY CREDITS ON TABLET, I WOULD BID.

Onyx
Onyx, from an Assyrian word meaning ring, is a cryptocrystalline form of quartz. The colors of its bands range from white to almost every color. Commonly available onyx slabs and tiles in the market contain bands of colors of white, tan, and brown.

@PerilCraig onyx is a type of quartz

I'm not arguing. I never claimed to be a professional petrologist. Yes, these lace agate book ends are very valuable. I've also seen the horse heads before; and they are made of the same kind of rock: lace agate.

Mar 25th, 2013 at 10:31:10 PM PDT by

i'm presuming a petrologist is the study of rocks? haha that's a silly name for it; petrologist should be the study of pets n a person who studies rocks should be a rockologist... why can't it be kept simpl?? lol

Mar 26th, 2013 at 9:43:53 AM PDT by

I don't know what kind of rocks they are, but I love rocks. Fanned and watching!

"rock" it girly..!
hehe... get it?
yah... i know... corny!

Beautiful! Watching and fanned!

Mar 26th, 2013 at 8:22:20 AM PDT by

YAY! TY

Mar 26th, 2013 at 9:38:58 AM PDT by

LOL, yes, petrology is the study of rocks. Petrologist is just a fancy word for rockhound. LOL again, the study of pets is a veterinarian, or their assistant. =DDD Have a great day. -EJ =D

Sry, forgot to tell you, no, lace agate is a 'gneiss-er' stone than granite; would probably have about the same kind of value that professionally cut marble would have. (That word, gneiss, is pronounced 'nice' and is a better form of granite. LOL =D )
