Botswana Agate is a variety of banded Chalcedony, a mineral of the Quartz family.
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 offspring
 
The volcanic activity that produced these lovely stones dates back nearly 187 million years ago, and though the igneous stones of Botswana began as volcanic flow, they did not originate from normal, mountainous volcanoes. Rather the lava flowed in waves from long faults along the lower rock layers and rolled across the landscape, depositing layer upon layer of Silica/Quartz, creating the extra fine banding and patterns which make Botswana Agates highly unique and desirable. Some collectors consider them royalty among Agates.
 
Botswana Agate is excellent for those serious about giving up smoking. To increase success drink an elixir first thing each morning, made by soaking the crystal in water for a few hours. Botswana Agate is also a stone of protection for all who work with fire, and protects the home from fires. It is excellent for balancing emotional, physical and intellectual energy, and in harmonizing yin and yang, the positive and negative forces of the universe. Agate promotes inner stability, composure, and maturity. Its warm, protective properties encourage security and self-confidence. It is a great crystal to use during pregnancy. Agate is useful as a protection amulet when traveling, and is especially effective against traffic accidents. It is also said to repel spiders.

We sell all rings in US ring sizes. I recommend you go into a jewelry store to obtain your accurate ring size. Don't second guess your ring size. I don't recommend using a tape measure, plastic ring sizers or online printable ring sizers. I depend on you, the customer, to provide us with the correct size so please do not estimate or guess. Don't second guess your ring size.

It takes many hours to hand make a ring from scratch so it is best to be sure of your size. Once the ring has been stretched the sale is final and the ring cannot be returned.
