There definitely is a Botswana agate, but I couldn't see your stone closely enough to identify it I've never seen a candle snuffer anything like yours. How does it work? I absolutely love your idea for using a make-up bag for a travel altar. I've been looking at various boxes, because the tiny box I'm using just isn't big enough. if I'm going to be away from home for a while, I want to take along some herbs, crystals, salt, spices, herbs, candles, tiny empty bottles, matched, a lighter, etc. etc., and they won't all fit in the little palm sized box I started out with I know there aren't truly that many things that are "must" haves for the craft, but there are a lot of things that I personally consider musts for myself. There are some things like cinnamon, bay leaves, lavender, and mugwort that I just don't want to be without. I'm going to start checking out the makeup bags next time I go to the thrift store. I love repurposing things for magickal uses!
