Botswana Agate 10mm Round - 8-Inch 48hr_04012025 3-4 small ranging 15-20mmBotswana Agate displays highly defined parallel banding, usually in white on hues of brown, gray, pink, tan, apricot and purplish red.

This lava rolled across the landscape, depositing layer upon layer of Quartz silicate to create the banding and patterns now prized in Botswana Agate.
