$58.00

These Sandstone Bookends are approximately
10" Wide x 4.25" Tall x 2.5" Deep, weigh about 7.25 lbs.

This is natural sandstone, formed 200 million years ago
by wind and water as part of the geological formation “Shinarump”. The colors and designs were induced by
a mineral spring containing iron oxides.

This set of bookends is Arizona Sierra and is found in Northern Arizona. The patterns are natural. The color is achieved by heat treating the stone which causes the natural iron oxides to darken, hence the richer the iron, the deeper the color.

Metaphysically, sandstone is a stone of creativity. It helps to build and strengthen the cohesiveness and solidarity within relationships. Encourages truth and promotes clarity in thought and sight. Sandstone balances one’s reality and facilitates ease of movement and change. It dispels abrasiveness of character and promotes loving acceptance of humanity. It discourages bad tempers and general grouchiness.

These fossilized Ammonite Bookends are approximately
7" Wide x 6.5" Tall x 2" Deep, weigh about 7.5lbs.

This pair has been cut and polished on all surfaces.
They feature a single ammonite on each front side,
surrounded by many Orthoceras.

Ammonites are an extinct species of cephalopod mollusks, that evolved into the nautilus of today. These soft-bodied invertebrates were protected by a hard, usually coiled, chambered shell and were fast-moving carnivores. They moved through the water by squirting water through a siphon, a kind of jet-propulsion, and would catch prey with their tentacles and then give a poison bite with their beak-like jaws. Ammonites ranged in size from less than an inch to about 9 feet in diameter. These nautiliod, sea creatures appeared during the Devonian Period, about 350 million years ago and died out during the Cretaceous Period, about 65 million years ago. Today, these fossils are given a high polish, sometimes cut in half, and used as plaques, sculptures and in jewelry.

Ammonites were named for an ancient Egyptian god, "Ammon", who is depicted with curled ram's horns behind each ear.

8" Wide x 6.5" Tall x 2" Deep, weigh about 8lbs.

This pair has been cut and polished on all surfaces.
They feature one single Orthoceras on each front side, surrounded by many smaller ones.

Orthoceras are an extinct species of cephalopod mollusks, that evolved into the squid and octopus of today. These soft-bodied invertebrates were protected by a hard, straight, conical, chambered shell and were fast-moving carnivores. They moved through the water by squirting water through a siphon, a kind of jet-propulsion, and would catch prey with their tentacles and then give a poison bite with their beak-like jaws. Orthoceras ranged in size from less than an inch to about 9 feet long. These nautiliod, sea creatures swam in shallow seas during the mid-Ordovician to the Devonian Periods, about 470 to 360 million years ago. Today, these fossils are quarried out of limestone and given a high polish and used as bookends, plaques, sculptures and in jewelry.

The name Orthoceras meant "straight horn" and referred to all nautiliods with straight shells.

These Banded Onyx Bookends are approximately
9" Wide x 6" Tall x 2.5" Deep, weigh about 9 lbs.

Banded Onyx found in an area in Arizona.

Banded Onyx, is actually a type of calcite, believed to be biogenic in origin, and displays the typical banded stromatolitic form. This banding of color is how the name is derived. True onyx is a microcrystalline form of quartz, a banded chalcedony.

Metaphysically, all calcites are known to ease fear, reduce stress, and is known as the best cleanser of stored negative energies, a very purifying stone. It is said to benefit overall health, physically, emotionally and mentally.
