I bought this big Botswana slab on ebay. I don't have a saw, but when I see slabs like this, I can really understand why so many of you other folks do. The detail that can be found in a nicely banded agate is really amazing:

Enjoy!

The more I look at it, it reminds me of the Northern Lights. I guess it's the colors and waves. Gaetz

It's no wonder the prices on Botswanas are going sky high. They truly have some of the best banding of all the agate nodules and take an absolutely great finish every time!
