Any ideas what to do with these?

Would they make brooches?
I can see one on a winter coat or as a shawl pin.
Aren't they beautiful!

Coasters?

Put them on the table or tray when you serve your guests. They would be great for bijou conversation pieces .

They are beautiful. Display them in a lovely bowl?

Leave them as they are, somewhere where they can be picked up, held and admired. They are very tactile

If they are translucent prop them up on a sunny windowsill and enjoy the light.

Do you do any mosaic crafts B9excange? These would look great set into a mosaic piece with complimentary coloured irregular shaped shards and light coloured grout.

I’d just place on coffee table or something like that.

Gift them to someone else, or give to a charity shop - that would not be a waste.

You can use them as coasters. They should be robust enough ( if you don't drop them on a stone floor ). If you want anymore look on ebay. there are UK suppliers of all sizes of agate slices from 1 inch upwards to about 18 inches. and various colours. The grey and brown ones are natural colours. all the rest are dyed. Purple and green are less stable colours and have been known to bleach in the sun or wash out. If you want a reference. let me know.

That's a lovely idea to build them into a mosaic coaster or two, I'll look at that. They are too thick to show much light through. A brooch would have been an idea, but I never wear brooches these days, they just seem to have gone out of fashion. But on thinking about it, perhaps a scarf clip, if the edges didn't snag the scarf?

Thanks Milest0ne, would be interested?

Put them on a window ledge and let the sun shine through them.

attach them to a wall at eye level... blob of hard as nails glue will do it..

They are lovely!
You could put them together with some other tactile things (wood, pebbles other polished stones etc) and pile them up in a shallow dish or box as an ornament on a coffee table or whatever, for people to touch, feel, rearrange and play with.

Buy a square frame, cover board with fabric and glue in the center and hang it up… it’s beautiful!

B9exchange you could seal the edges with a craft glue or clear silicone then they would be smoother for your scarf clip.

We use these in different colours as coasters. They are beautiful and everybody likes them.

Coasters?

Any advice would be appreciated! What to do with 2 fur coats which belonged to my beloved mother in law. Have had them for
many years and couldn't part with them for sentimental reasons. Now the time has come but can't face putting them on a tip

B9exchange : They are beautiful as they are. Pieces of historic stone. They are so tactile. Just put them on display so that visitors can see and hold them. My grandson collects stones and has one very similar, He refers to it as his lucky stone.

They sold these in B&M in the UK and I asked the assistant there what they were. I was told they were drink’s coasters. I bought some and although they look nice they weren’t exactly flat enough to safely place a glass or mug upon.

You could ask the moderators if they'd move this to 'Ask a Gran' or a similar forum.

FWIW, I don't think that you could do anything with the coats that would be approved of these days. I'd just hang on to them and leave them for my heirs to sort out...
