A standing candle holder cut from a natural agate nodule, with a well drilled into the top sized for a standard tea light. Each stands about 4 to 5 inches tall and runs 2.5 to 3.5 inches across.

Does it fit a standard tea light?

Yes. The well on top takes a standard tea light in its metal cup. Let the stone cool fully before you handle it or clear the wax.

Where does it come from?

Minas Gerais, Brazil, cut and polished at a cooperative there.

No. Much of the agate on the market is dyed bright colours. These are undyed, so the cream, tan, and rust banding is natural to the stone.

Will mine look exactly like the photo?

No. Every nodule bands differently, and some carry a small natural vug or a wash of purple. Yours will be a similar piece from the same lot.

How do I care for it?

Wipe with a soft dry cloth and clear wax from the well once it has cooled. Keep it away from harsh chemical cleaners.

What does a crystal grade (A, AA, or AAA) actually mean?

Crystal grades reflect visual quality within a single batch. Grade A is standard quality with typical inclusions. Grade AA shows stronger color saturation, cleaner surface, and tighter sizing. Grade AAA represents the top 10 to 15 percent of any batch: exceptional clarity, consistent color, and minimal surface variation. At Beyond Bohemian, grades are assessed by Paul Oliver at point of purchase.

Will I receive the exact piece shown, or one chosen from your stock?

For bulk listings sold by weight or piece count, you receive pieces from the same batch shown in the photos. Each piece is hand-selected at the time of packing. For unique specimens listed individually, you receive the exact piece photographed. The listing will specify which applies.

How do I know this crystal is ethically sourced?

Beyond Bohemian traces each stone as far up the supply chain as possible and is transparent when that tracing has limits. We work with small-scale operations and family-run suppliers wherever we can verify fair compensation. You can ask about any specific piece and we will tell you what we know and what we do not.

What is the return policy?

Beyond Bohemian accepts returns within 90 days of purchase. Items must be in original condition. Return shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. Contact us before returning so we can confirm eligibility and provide instructions.

Crystal Family: Chalcedony (Quartz)
Mohs Hardness: 6.5-7
Origin: Minas Gerais, Brazil
Beginner Friendly: Yes
Treatment Awareness: Medium (dyeing, heat treatment possible)

Agate is banded chalcedony, a microcrystalline quartz that fills cavities in volcanic rock in slow layers. Cut through and polished, each nodule shows a cream or white quartz centre ringed by tan, rust, and grey bands, sometimes with a small open vug where the layers never closed.

These come from a cooperative in Minas Gerais, Brazil. The front face is polished flat, the outer rind is left rough exactly as it came out of the ground, and the base is cut so the piece stands on its own.

Worth knowing: a great deal of the agate sold today is dyed bright blue, pink, or green. These are undyed, and the colours you see are the colours the stone formed with.

Agate is traditionally a grounding, steadying stone, associated with stability and a settled mind rather than any dramatic shift. It is linked to the root and sacral chakras.

As a standing candle holder it sits at eye level where you notice it, which suits a stone people keep for steadiness. There is no single right way to use it.

These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.
