Caramel Wave Botswana Agate — Africa — The Scalloped Setting
Botswana agate is known for its fine, tight banding — layers of chalcedony laid down over millions of years in concentric waves. This piece has a warm caramel and cream palette with banding that curves in a scalloped pattern across the face of the stone. The setting was chosen specifically to echo those curves.
Sourced from Botswana, Africa. Hand-cut and polished in the Spokane Valley shop. Set in a sterling silver scalloped bezel, ready to wear.
