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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClassic \u003cem\u003efortification with deep blue\u003c\/em\u003e is the signature Botswana look - this trimmer delivers both clearly. \u003cstrong\u003ePre-1970s import\u003c\/strong\u003e from a deposit that \u003cstrong\u003eno longer ships fresh material\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePERFECT FOR\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Cabochon cutting\u003cbr\u003e• Display piece\u003cbr\u003e• Botswana classic collectors\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePHOTO NOTE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Photographed wet.
