  • Details
    Decorate your home with this unique red aragonite egg. It contains a beautiful geode. Its brown-red color resembles caramel. It is hand made and well polished so its surface is shiny and smooth. Red aragonite is a rare member of the aragonite family, especially in this high quality. If you are looking for an unusual natural mineral decoration, then this is the right one.

    It's handmade!
    Red aragonite is mined in Afghanistan and then supplied to the Pakistani mineral market. Experienced Pakistani artisans use it to make beautiful carvings such as spheres, towers, obelisks or eggs. They work hard but their reward is almost zero. Imagine this: Afghan miners dig up a mineral, then it is shipped to Pakistan, where it is sold to resellers. Artisans must buy it from them. They then process it into carvings. Making one such egg takes several hours and a lot of material is wasted in the process. When they finally sell the finished product, their profit is $1, often less. It is no wonder that dire poverty is around every corner in Pakistan. This is what "Handmade in Pakistan" means. By buying this amazing egg, you support artisans. Thank you!

    How to use it?
    This egg is a high quality collectible polished mineral as well as a beautiful and cute home decoration. Its size, shape, color and quality make it very distinctive. So the best way to display it is to place it on a shelf or desk as a solitaire without any other decorations. It will look great against a light gray or green background. You can place it in the living room or bedroom and shine a slightly warm light on it.

    How to take care of it?
    Just make sure you choose a location and lighting that will make the egg stand out. No special treatment is needed. Perfect polishing sufficiently protects the material and its color.
