A Natural Beauty

Way back when I was a little girl being dragged along by my parents to Miami's tourist trap (aka Bayside), I remember sneaking into this weird hippie store where they sold beautiful natural stones. My favorite was the amethyst (probably because it's my birthstone) and all the colorful agate. I don't think I've ever gotten over the pretty stones since!

Agate is easier to find these days at affordable prices. I picked up a set of beautiful purple agate bookends at Homegoods last year but I think they need some Agate Coaster friends...
