Monday Inspiration: Agate

A little bit of something I love to get you through your Monday.

One of my current obsessions is with agate and other geodes.I remember going to the natural history museum when I was little and falling in love with the giant amethyst. I've always loved the refinement of the crystals with the naturalism of the rough stone. Agate has a similar look, but it has these wonderful swirling bands of color running through it. Each piece is unique and special.

Ok, I'll stop talking because you're probably thinking, "OK Amber, you're getting a little crazy over these rocks..." I'll just let their beauty speak for themselves.

Are you sold? I am. I think my new entry table would enjoy a big chunk of agate to keep it company.
