Botswana-Agate ( Sulemani Agate) is named after the country in Southern Africa where it is mined.

It is also known as the Sunset Stone because of its ability to retain sunlight and give comfort to people during hard times. Botswana Agate is a variety of banded Chalcedony, a mineral of the Quartz family. It is predominantly banded in shades of pink and gray, though some layers may contain a muted brown or apricot. he volcanic activity that produced these lovely stones dates back nearly 187 million years ago, and though the igneous stones of Botswana began as volcanic flow, they did not originate from normal, mountainous volcanoes. Rather the lava flowed in waves from long faults along the lower rock layers and rolled across the landscape, depositing layer upon layer of Silica/Quartz, creating the extra fine banding and patterns which make Botswana Agates highly unique and desirable. Some collectors consider them royalty among Agates.

It will help you discover your true purpose and reflect on your life’s meaning. It will inspire you to dream bigger and embrace life with hope and enthusiasm.

Chakra Healing & Balancing Energy
Sulemani Agate, with its energies of pale red, gray and brown, stimulates the Base Chakra. The Base, or Root Chakra, is located at the base of the spine, and controls the energy for kinesthetic feeling and movement. It is the foundation of physical and spiritual energy for the body. When its spiritual energies are out of balance, you will feel flighty, disconnected from reality, and distant. When the Base Chakra is in balance, the physical body regains its strength and stamina, and the spiritual energy is rekindled in the form of security and sense of one's own power. It often leads to independence and spontaneous leadership.

Color Energy
The areas of brown and apricot in Sulemani Agate reflect the rich, brown rays of the natural earth. It is the color influence of home, hearth, and nature, of comfort and connection. It lets you relax, reconnect, and regain your composure. It is a grounding stone. Brown crystals promote security and stability.

Meditation with Botswana Agate
Sulemani Agate is extremely effective for multi-dimensional healing and soul-work. The bands across its surface allow for traveling into another reality, different streams of consciousness or accessing other lives. Use a Botswana Agate for the first few minutes of any meditation, then switch to a crystal attuned to the intent of the session.
