Botswana agate is sometimes called the "change stone" because of its mystical property of helping one handle change in a positive way. It is said to gently help one make transitions of any kind in a way that change is not as difficult or painful as could be without it; it is a comforting stone. Carrying a bit of Botswana agate in your pocket is said to help one cope easily with the minor changes that life throws at us daily. Relief from depression and/or grief is another metaphysical property of Botswana agate. It is said to help us focus on solutions instead of problems, and thereby increases creativity, as well as increasing the power of one's intuition. Botswana agate is noted in crystal healing to be helpful in overcoming addictions and other self-destructive compulsive behavior patterns, as well as dealing with repressed emotional issues. As a success stone, it is said to help one achieve and cope with success. It is also a stone of sensuality. In crystal healing it is said to be beneficial to the nervous system and can help rid the body of toxins, as well as help in the healing of broken bones.

I find that many times using a string of "beads" made from crystal healing stones, or individual pieces work extremely well for whatever the crystal healing stone is intended to do.  When you think of it, these beautiful pieces are made from the best of the stones, and you receive many more of the stones when they are in a string than you would with just one stone, so value wise, it is much better on the finances.  These are just those types of strings and pieces, and you can purchase a clasp and make them into a necklace or bracelet for much less!
