These are A-grade Pink Agate polished crystal chips from Francistown, Botswana, sold by the piece or by the pound. Pink Agate is a banded chalcedony, fine-grained quartz with a waxy luster and soft rose banding. Each chip runs 0.25-0.50 inch at Mohs 6.5-7, in naturally banded, undyed color. A favorite love stone for crystal grids.
Pink Agate belongs to the Chalcedony group within the Silicates family.
Sourced through a community partnership in Francistown, Botswana.
Agate has been used as a decorative and protective stone since ancient times, found in archaeological sites across Egypt, Mesopotamia, and sub-Saharan Africa.
In the tradition, Pink Agate shows up most often around balance, gentle calm, and inner steadiness. It's traditionally linked to the Heart and Crown chakras. If that resonates, keep a handful nearby when you need to settle into a quieter state. Trust what feels useful and leave the rest.
These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.
Offered as a starting point for your own practice.

You'll receive pieces from the same batch photographed, weighed to the amount you choose. Every piece passes our quality control and meets or exceeds what you see in the photos. Single specimens are listed separately and say so.
Each piece measures 0.25 to 0.5 inches on its longest side and weighs 0.25 to 1 grams. About 400 to 800 pieces per pound at this size, and each option shows its piece count.

How We GradeSourced through a regional cooperative or community-based workshop. Processing and economic benefit stay local, which means more of the value reaches the people doing the work. We say what we know and where our tracing stops.
Our Sourcing StandardsEverything we sell is natural in origin: never synthetic, never dyed, never coated. Where a stone has been heated, irradiated or stabilized, which is common in the trade for some species, we say so on the listing. If a piece is not as described, return it within 90 days of delivery.
