Botswana agate is said to help the wearer focus on solutions instead of problems. It is believed to relieve depression and ease stress. It derives its name from Botswana, a country in Southern Africa, where it is mined. Agate is believed to bring protection to its wearer, increase courage and strength, relieve stress, balance emotions, alleviate insomnia, and bring about pleasant dreams. It is said to increase self-confidence, enhance concentration, improve memory, help with communication and public speaking, and fight addictions. It is reputed to foster honesty and trust. Agate is associated with the Zodiac signs of Capricorn, Aquarius, Gemini, and Libra. It is the mystical birthstone for the month of September, and one of the birthstones for the months of May and June. Agate is also given as a gift for the 12th wedding anniversary.

Some collectors consider the Botswana Agate royalty among Agates. Its intricate bands and warm colors make it uniquely beautiful. It is a delightful Agate to engage and observe. The area of Botswana where these little beauties are found is rich with human and geological history. One of Earth's earliest human settlements is believed to be in the Tsodilo Hills (locals call the hills Male, Female and Child) in the Mashatu Reserve in Botswana. The area contains over 3500 rock paintings that date from 1000 BC to around the 1800s (the oldest painting is 4000 years old). The individuals responsible for the artwork are probably the ancestors of the Basarwa and Bantu tribes that still inhabit the region.
