There are a lot of Botswanas out there but, finding a perfect one with great banding and color is rare.
This is a Condor agate from Argentina. It has several hairline fractures in it but, I thought this was a real beauty with the contrast of the black surrounding the red and orange banding. It has three centers with crystal quartz in all three and crystals running from the open middle center in the channel to the left center side. It has a mirror polish.
This is a gorgeous slice of Chinese Fighting Blood agate from China. This is a stunning slice from the High Class mine which is no longer producing because of a government shutdown of the locality in preparation for the Olympic Games. The beauty of this slice is you get two pictures of the same agate with all of the red, gold, yellow and clear bands within the agate slice. It has crystal quartz running through the center and a cool inflow/escape tube that looks different on each side. There are some hairline fractures but, they do not detract from the beauty of this agate. It has a mirror polish on both sides.
