Hello, I am wondering what this is? Looks like someone went to great lenghths to cut and polish this. Looks like 1/4 of a nice big specimen and cut in half. It is 5" tall, 5-1/2" wide and 3-1/4" deep. Weighs 4 lbs 5.6 pounds together. It is cut in half and polished up nicely. One half weighs 1.009 grams and 969 grams for the other. When hilding a light to it there are slight bands in the dark exterior band. Found in a storage locker auction buy.

It's agate, cut and polished into a pair of book ends. Do a search for "agate book ends" and you'll find many similar examples.
