Botswana agates are one of the most beautiful agates, and became my passion since 2005 when I got the chance to visit the the locality around Bobonong. Unfortunately it is pretty hard to get the rough out of Botswana and there is a little chance that anything will change in the future. So at least I posted some of the pictures on my page to share their beauty. http://www.mindat.org/forum.php?read,104,213340,213340#msg-213340 Sun, 19 May 2013 04:47:37 +0000 Phorum 5.2.15a http://www.mindat.org/forum.php?read,104,213340,258449#msg-258449 http://www.mindat.org/forum.php?read,104,213340,258449#msg-258449 I also have a great appreciation for Botswana agates.

There are many Quartz articles from various countries that have not been done, with only the images picked out but not yet placed in the article, only the links to them are in the articles. I have often lamented the fact that the mindat gallery is rather poverty stricken when it comes to forms of quartz like agate, chalcedony, petrified wood, opal etc. I am sure that when someone writes the article on quartz from Botswana that it will include some good images of Botswana agate.]]> Rock Currier Minerals Fri, 18 Feb 2011 02:37:30 +0000 http://www.mindat.org/forum.php?read,104,213340,213982#msg-213982 http://www.mindat.org/forum.php?read,104,213340,213982#msg-213982 Marketa Tumova Minerals Thu, 17 Feb 2011 14:32:46 +0000 http://www.mindat.org/forum.php?read,104,213340,213891#msg-213891 http://www.mindat.org/forum.php?read,104,213340,213891#msg-213891 Rock Currier Minerals Wed, 16 Feb 2011 20:33:46 +0000 http://www.mindat.org/forum.php?read,104,213340,213848#msg-213848 http://www.mindat.org/forum.php?read,104,213340,213848#msg-213848 Marketa Tumova Minerals Wed, 16 Feb 2011 14:48:42 +0000 http://www.mindat.org/forum.php?read,104,213340,213599#msg-213599 http://www.mindat.org/forum.php?read,104,213340,213599#msg-213599 Rock Currier Minerals Mon, 14 Feb 2011 08:01:11 +0000 http://www.mindat.org/forum.php?read,104,213340,213584#msg-213584 http://www.mindat.org/forum.php?read,104,213340,213584#msg-213584
