Onyx Bookends
|
BK309b
Here is a very different, slightly irregular set of Pakistani Onyx
bookends from the Rock Shed. The set measures 6" x 6 1/4" x 4 1/4" and
has a super polish on all sides. This material is beautiful with a excellent
color mix of Browns, Greens, Reds and Golds. This material is very unique
in that the material is often difficult to match perfectly, thus resulting in
a different, sometimes irregular appearance. Although we feel that this
does not distract from the unique look the bookends exhibit, we have reduced
the price to reflect this exceptional quality. Onyx is a banded variety
of Calcite. The colors of its bands range from white to almost every color
except shades of purple, blue and black. It is used for vases, bowls,
beads, cabochons and other items. This type of Onyx is found in Mexico
and Pakistan. It is often carved, polished and sold in a variety of different
things.
They weighs 10 lbs. 4 ozs.
