Maroon Red Agate Geode Nut/trinket/Jewelry Bowl

A small bowl hollowed out of red agate, offered 2" or 3" across. It holds rings and studs on a dresser, or a handful of nuts on a side table.

The color is wine rather than bright red, a deep burgundy that turns purple where it thickens, with paler mauve sweeps crossing the well and a thin light line at the rim. The inside is hollowed out and polished smooth; the outside is covered in a thick layer of metal, with patches of bare stone showing through, and the rim runs uneven.

Size and Materials

• Stone: red agate, deep wine burgundy with paler mauve sweeps
• Inside: hollowed and polished to a gloss
• Outside: a thick layer of metal, with bare stone showing through
• Size: choose 2" across or 3" across
• Finish: Gold, Silver or Rose Gold

Every piece uses natural stone, so slight variation in color, marking, shape and size will occur.

Using It

It lives on a nightstand or a bathroom shelf for rings, studs and a watch, on a desk for clips and keys, or on a side table with nuts or wrapped candy in it. Dust it with a dry cloth; wipe a spill with a barely damp one and dry the stone at once. Not for the dishwasher, and the metal will not rub off with handling.

A Good Gift For

An anniversary or a housewarming, and a gift that looks considered on a dark wood dresser.
