Description
Botswana Agate is a rare form of Agate from the country of Botswana. Botswana Agate is getting very rare to find now, as to our knowledge, no new material is being mined. Botswana Agate is very popular for its beautiful banding and stunning colors. It tends to take a mirror polish, and works up incredibly easy. Whole Botswana nodules are the most rare, and people tend to hunt these for the illusive pinks, purples, and bright blues. Broken Botswanas are a little more common, but give a higher rate of 'you know what you are getting'.
90% of Lapidary Centrals Botswana Agates were collected and imported before the 1970s. Botswana Agates were mined in a river bed, which is what causes the smooth appearance. When you see Botswana Agate, you don't want to miss out because with each stone worked or added to a private collection, it gets harder to find!
All rough stones are generally taken wet unless otherwise specified to simulate a polish.
