Crystal Geode Bookends

I've had a deepening obsession with crystals lately. I came across these lovely crystal geode bookends at a street vendor on Myrtle, a half of block off of the Knickerbocker M train station:




When I originally saw them I hesitated and didn't buy them because of my budget...but I kept thinking about them and ran after work the next day to pick them up! I snagged the pair for just $30. The table I bought it was run by this couple, who were so sweet and eager to tell me the history behind each and every thing on the table for sale. These geodes were mined in Brazil. They also had African soapstone sculptures of elephants and people, jewelry, and even rabbits' foot key chains.

You can snag a pair online at Crystal River Gems, but if you're in the neighborhood, stop by and support these friendly vendors!
