Unknown Agate

Attached is a piece of banded agate. It was labeled Botswana Agate, but also looks somewhat like Lake Superior Agate. What do you think it is?
Thanks-

It might very well be agate from Botswana, but a lot of other agate localities might have produced similar material.

Hello,
May I ask where you acquired this specimen from? I sold a piece similar to this on ebay some time ago. If it was from my auction, it came from an old collection, there were several in a cigar box all labeled as Botswana agates.
