Pink Botswana agate carries soft bands of blush pink against grey and milky white, the colors blurred together instead of sharply lined the way many banded agates run. It's a stone for the days you want comfort without a lot of commentary, the kind of steady, quiet company that doesn't ask you to explain yourself. Keep it on a nightstand for the last few minutes before sleep, or hold it during a hard phone call when you want something soft in your hand instead of your phone's hard edge. Botswana agate takes its name from the region where it was first identified, a banded form of chalcedony that forms in layers inside gas pockets in volcanic rock. This piece is polished into a smooth tumble. You'll be sent the one intuitively chosen for you. Something gentle to hold when gentle is the whole point.
