Move over potted plants—there's a new natural trend happening in home decor. Colorful agate and geode pieces are popping up in all our favorite stores—and have quickly become our favorite way to add a little glamour and interest to our homes.
Most often placed on display as objets on your shelf—stacked with books and other little treasures—we've noticed that these sparkling stones are becoming so much more! Agates have been transformed into almost anything you can think of—stunning chandeliers, colorful coffee tables, clocks and more.

Agate Bookends
Image courtesy of West Elm The coolest thing about adding agate into your home decor is that it doesn't really have a specific "look."

Set them on your hearth amongst picture frames and candles or give them a spotlight on a bookshelf or console table with all your favorite titles.
