Botswana Agate
Botswana agates are some of the most popular agates due to their vibrant colours and detailed, fine banding patterns.
They are most commonly found in grey, blue or white colours but can also be red, orange and pink.

Tumbled Stones
These are stones that were tumble polished in a rock tumbler.
The rough stones are put into the tumbler with abrasive grit where they are tumbled for weeks, during this time the sharp edges are rounded off.
During the process, ever finer grits are used and so the stones are slowly getting a smooth and shiny surface.
The final stage of the tumbling process is using a special polishing powder instead of abrasive grit to polish the stones to a mirror finish.
