They are usually covered with an opaque rind, and must be broken open to see the agate inside. Rarely are these nodules found more than 3-4 inches in size. They are commonly gray, white and black and are estimated to be about 150 to 200 million years old. Botswana Agate is named for its origin near the town of Bobonong in Botswana, Africa. The area where they are found is quite large and they occur at several different locations but can commonly be found around the river. Collecting and exporting is controlled by the government so this material is difficult to obtain. Rough rock cannot be exported so it is often tumbled to remove the rind and then exported. 1 8.99, 2 16.98, 3 23.97, 5 37.45
