Awesome piece!

The bookends I received were exactly as the photo represented, polished well and only needed a quick rub down with a rag to get rid of any debris from the packaging. I was scared that mine would come broken, but it looked well packaged as it was wrapped in bubble wrap. The only thing about the packaging is that both ends were placed together instead of separate, thankfully there was no damage.
I saw that some people said they had not received the rubber bumpers. I thought that maybe I had not received them either but then I dug around in the paper and shook them out. The rubber bumpers themselves are clear on a clear 1x1 square sheet, making them hard to see. So maybe others did get them but couldn't find them since you can't immediately see them and they are rather small. Maybe it would be better to put the bumpers in a little red envelope or something brightly colored to make them easier to spot.

Heavy, beautiful, big agate bookends. No powder dropping off on your hand.

The agate was beautiful, there were mostly no chips at the corners unlike a previous order from another company. This company actually sent me an after-purchase email for me to write a review. They said there would be a little powder on the rock, but to my pleasant surprise when it came, I didn’t notice any. So it exceeded my expectations. The only thing I’m worried about is the crack at the bottom corner. I can feel it, not sure if it will break off soon. Seems fragile to use as bookends. It also didn’t come with the rubber backings for the base the company said it would come with. Nonetheless, it’s a beautiful piece.

Attractive, Compact, and Versatile

Reviewed in the United States on 10 December 2018

Colour Name: BlueSize Name: 2-3 LbsVerified Purchase

The beautiful hues of perfectly polished blues and sparkling specks of white and silver are what make this product special. I think they're better to be used as accent pieces than as bookends though. I was happily surprised to discover that they were smaller than I expected since my bedroom lacks space. The two ends come with rubber stoppers that you stick on yourself. However, even with the rubber stoppers attached, they only seem to "work" well when holding a light load...Meaning, the amount of books allowed for secure placement is extremely limited and/or the books must be lightweight. Granted, I've only used them as actual bookends on unpolished wood. Maybe other surface types generate more tension with the rubber stoppers.

Overall, I think they're unique and beautiful and I am happy with my purchase. I ordered them specifically for my bedroom that I am redecorating, hoping to achieve a "tranquil" or "spa-like" ambiance. While researching ideas, I learned that when paired with white or brighter colors, a major presence of blue promotes anxiolytic effects in people. It makes sense as to why hospitals and other wellness companies often use blue in their decor or branding. I'm still in the works of redecorating my bedroom, but they so far pair well with the variety of other blues, greens, yellows, and neutrals I have.

We will see.... much better

I received these this morning. I was so excited to add these to my office. I opened up the box and a weird smell came from them. Ok no big deal I can just let them air out. As I was unwrapping them from some part of paper, I noticed that neither one of the stones had to rubber bottom they said it would have. I have contacted Amazon to get a replacement. We will see how the others are. I will update this when I get them. The first two photos.
Update: The last two photos are the ones I received as replacements today. There is no smell. Thankfully, thinking about it I would not be able to handle it if them smelled again. These came with 8 little rubber dots that you need to put on yourself. They were easy to do. The new ones are smaller than the ones I returned but I will gladly take it. The backs of the stones I believe are dyed and rubbed off a little on my hands but that is an easy fix with a clear coat.

Pretty cool bookends

Pretty cool, been wanting blue geode bookends forever. My grandma had a pair that I looovvved when I was a kid lol. These aren't as good as he's were, but they're still cool for an affordable price. Of course one of the coolest things about geodes is that you never know what will be inside, so every pair is different. But here are the two sides of each of mine, plus a close-up of some little crystals inside. There's also some weird cross-layers in mine that look crusty and odd... never seen that before (if it wasn't so blue I might be able to figure out what mineral that is). But anyway, I think they're pretty neat!

Pretty Stone

Reviewed in the United States on 21 September 2018

Colour Name: TealSize Name: 3-4 LbsVerified Purchase

I really like the color in these stones- and they arrived undamaged. My only reason for dropping a star is because one bookend had no dark teal middle like most of the pictures showed - just the light teal throughout the whole rock - the other bookend did have the dark teal middle so when they are on each end they don't appear to match. I am using them in separate areas of my bookcase so that it's not so noticeable, but it was a little disappointing to me.

Be careful in ordering on the weight description!

Colour Name: White,BrownSize Name: 4-6 LbsVerified Purchase

These are good and nice, but beware misinterpreting the description- they weight refers to the combined weight of two of them. I can't imagine that except the largest two sizes these are good as bookends as they would be too light. I have the 2nd largest size and they... just do... because of the helpful adhesive rubber foot pads they include. If I could redo I would order the largest size.

I used these book ends in my kitchen for my cook books. They are ok. The colors go well with my colors in my kitchen, they hold the books in place. However, they are a bit small for the price. I wouldn’t purchase again, or I would search a Marshall’s ot TJ Maxx for these items as they are waaaayy cheaper and much bigger. Unfortunately for me, they didn’t have the color I needed.

Great bookends, slightly disappointed by color

I don't know why Amazon is pushing for "lightweight" to be added to the review, these are stone, they shouldn't be lightweight. I'm happy with everything about these bookends except the color is not a vibrant as their photos show. Still looks good on the desk, though.

Beautiful Bookends

I have wanted these bookends for some time and they’re beautiful! My only issue was the chip in one of the bookends. It may have happened in transit, and I am slightly worried about it growing larger but happy to finally have these on my bookcase.
