Botswana Agate, A Protective Influence

Agates were highly prized by the ancients. Too often, the modern human looks at a stone and decides its value on the basis of its price. Agate? Bah. They'd rather have a diamond. Yet, it is often the inexpensive agate that's more useful in a magickal working.

When you cut a raw Botswana Agate, you may find an "eye" inside-- an emblem of protection against evil. We have also found Amethyst inside, a crystal highly regarded for its power to improve your insight and your ability to divine the future. When we think of prosperity stones, we often think about stones that draw money like a magnet, with Lodestone being the classic example. However, we should also think about the stones that protect and defend us from problems, big and small, that would otherwise drain our bank account. Botswana Agate is a good stone to have in your pocket when you need a protector.
