Large African Tumble Stones - Grey Agate - Botswana (Pack of 6)

Six large tumbled grey agate stones from Botswana, each 30 to 50mm, polished smooth, banded in cool grey-blue wrapped with fine lines of white, deep brown and black. Botswana agate is the most finely banded of the agates, and the large size is where the banding shows: each stone has its own set of rings and loops, like a cross-section of a tree, and no two in the pack match. In crystal practice agate is the stone of balance and patience and Botswana agate in particular is read as a comforting stone, the one held during a hard conversation or a long wait, and the size suits that, a stone to turn over in the hand. The six make a bowl, a row on a windowsill or a grid, and they suit a grey or neutral room where brighter stones would clash. Natural stone, so the bands and tones differ from the photograph. Among the quietest and most handsome tumbles on the shelf.

Botswana grey agate, pack of six tumbled stones. 30 to 50mm each.
