Think intrigue! Think distinction! Think southern Africa--the subtropics, Kalahari-lion, elephant, hippopotamus, crocodile country. Mix them together and you've got Botswana agate.
Agates were used in ancient times as talismans to protect the wearer from storms, to quench thirst and to bring good luck--all important things for surviving in the subtropics. Botswana agate, in particular, has been used traditionally to sustain attentiveness to detail. It's an ability needed by every successful person in today's changing but nonetheless difficult world, regardless of what kind of jungle that person goes off to each morning (or returns to in the evening).
