Formed in Fire, Layered by Time Botswana Agate is a banded chalcedony formed within volcanic rock over millions of years. Found in the southern African country of Botswana, this stone emerges from slow-moving lava flows that deposit rhythmic layers of silica. As mineral-rich water filters through these cavities, chalcedony crystals form—creating the soft greys, pinks, and browns that ripple through each bead like the layered hills of Yorkshire. These 8 mm beads are hand-strung on 0.38 mm, 26 gauge tiger tail steel wire for strength and flexibility. Finished with sterling silver wire protectors, delicate findings, and a secure 11 mm lobster clasp, this necklace blends durability with artisan elegance.
