Rock/Mineral Info:

Botswana Agate is a variety of banded chalcedony, a member of the quartz family. It is predominantly banded in shades of pink and gray, though some layers may contain a muted brown or apricot.

Metaphysical Info:

Named for the area in Africa where it is mined, Botswana Agate is called the Sunset Stone because it retains sunlight and comforts people through dark, lonely nights. It was traditionally used in African fertility ceremonies to encourage potency and the conception of strong, healthy children. Agate has a lower intensity and vibrates to a slower frequency than other stones, but is highly regarded as a stabilizing and strengthening influence. It is excellent for balancing emotional, physical and intellectual energy, and in harmonizing yin and yang, the positive and negative forces of the universe.
