These natural beauties have been showing up for months in jewelry and in home accessories. From bookends and wine stoppers, to plates and coasters, these little gems are a piece of jewelry for the home. Agate is the oldest stone in recorded history. These semi-precious stones are typically formed when water flows through lava holes. Many of the gems come from Brazil, according to Rablabs.

Geode agates are rocks with a small cavity containing crystals or other minerals as shown here in these bookends.

Coasters and platters are quite popular and their edges are usually left natural and unpolished. Platters like these from Rablads, have sterling silver or 24K gold added to the edges.
West Elm offers these precious coasters in a deep Aegean blue color which is perfect for any cocktail table.
And last but not least, I would love to see this every day in my home. Blue agate at its best!
