Botswana agate has been a perennial favorite of the lapidary artist for many years. These small nodules from Africa are famous for their tight, high contrast fortification banding with shades of blue/black and occasionally pinks and purples and some unique pastel colors. They make exceptional jewelry pieces and exquisite shelf specimens.
