Hey folks, I picked this up last week at the local rock shop in the 'Brazilian' bin.. clearly that wasn't what it was. I was thinking maybe Botswana by the skin (except for the orange stuff on it). When I cut into it tonight I was taken aback a bit by the colors. I've got some pinkish Bots but they look different than this.. but I think that's what it is. What do you think? Thanks!

Whew Brian, that's an unusual agate! I'm thinking more a Brazilian variant myself as I'm used to seeing a more rounded rather than fortification pattern in most Bots. However, I have seen some Bots very similar to that one and I also have Mexican stuff out of Chihuahua that looks very much like what you have. Definitely a bit of an oddball but very beautiful color and pattern.....Mel

It does look quite Bot'ish doesn't it. Never look a gift bot in the mouth. ;D

Looks like either a real nice brazilian or a botz to me. I've seen blackskin agates like that but the outside doesn't add up. Whatever it is, nice rock. Steve

Hey "Beef" ---- aaaah, I'd say it was in the right bin --- brazilian ---- I've had several like that and I always figured that they had traveled far enough to wear the outer skin off ---down to the agate base----the color layers speak " brazilian" to me! ;D ;D

Well, I suppose I should retract my 'clearly it's not a Brazilian' statement lol. Thanks guys! Even with the fracture she's a beaut, eh?

I like that deep blue in the cut.

As much as I wish it were bot-o-lucious- I'm afraid that it's Brazilian- still a wonderful example of those fine agates!
