Two thin slices of agate make the wings, perched on a little metal body like a butterfly that just landed.

Each butterfly pairs two polished agate slices as wings on a slim silver-tone wire stand. Agate forms in bands inside volcanic rock, so every wing has its own rings. All colours except Natural are dyed for bright teals, pinks and purples; Natural is the agate's own undyed colour.

It's a sweet, whimsical piece that makes people smile. Agate is traditionally linked with balance and calm, and butterflies with change and growth. It's a lovely gift for a graduation, a new home or someone turning a corner.

How to use it

• Set it on a sunny windowsill
• Give it for a graduation or new job
• Pick a colour to match a room
• Add it to a desk or bookshelf

Care: Dust it gently with a soft brush, and keep dyed wings out of long, strong sun so the colour stays bright.
