Botswana Agate 6mm Round - 8-Inch Stone Type_Hematoid Quartz Morganite gets its pink hueBotswana 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.
