Botswana Agate is a rare agate from the country of Botswana, representing African lapidary excellence. It's becoming very difficult to find, as no new material is reportedly being mined. Botswana Agate is popular for beautiful banding and impressive colors. It takes a mirror polish and works easily for jewelry making. 90% of LapidaryCentral's Botswana Agates were collected and imported before the 1970s.
WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL
Classic fortification with deep blue is the signature Botswana look - this trimmer delivers both clearly. Pre-1970s import from a deposit that no longer ships fresh material.
