Botswana Agate — Richardson's Rock Ranch — The Africa Compromise

This Botswana Agate cabochon was cut and polished from material we found. It's an oval shape, showing off the natural caramel and white banding. We don't hide the character of the stone. It was 95 degrees in the Oregon sun. We were grinding out the miles on a 3,000-mile trip when we stumbled right into Richardson's Rock Ranch. Janyce found this material in a pile of imported African Botswana Agate sitting in the Oregon dirt. Every piece in the Richardson's Rock Ranch Collection carries the story of that gamble in the dirt, the heat, and the lessons learned on the wheel. — Bob & Janyce, Rockhound Studio, Spokane Valley WA This oval cabochon features a high polish finish and measures approximately 38 x 25 x 6 mm. This piece is set in a decorative silver-tone bezel with an integrated bail, ready to wear. Richardson's Rock Ranch Story Richardson's Rock Ranch Collection
