Botswana Agate — Richardson's Rock Ranch — The Sunrise
Accepted payment methods
This Botswana Agate cabochon has a smooth, glass-like finish. It shows beautiful concentric banding in shades of white, caramel, and deep brown. The natural patterns tell a story of the earth's ancient processes.
We found this Botswana Agate sitting in a clean pile of imported African Botswana Agate in the Oregon dirt at Richardson's Rock Ranch. Bob dug through the pile with one rule: no white showing.
What came out was 130 million years of the earth remembering itself. Every piece in this collection carries the miles, the heat, and the story of that run.
