Where does it come from?

This batch is from Androy, Madagascar.

Grade AA, blue, white. Each piece 1-2 inches.

What is it traditionally used for?

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.

Anhydrite is part of the sulfate family.

Our raw pieces are sourced from Androy, Madagascar.

At 3.5 on the Mohs scale, it's on the softer end. Keep it away from water and store it separately from harder pieces.

Anhydrite has been known since ancient times but was formally recognized in the 18th century.

Anhydrite has long been used in practices around a simple anchor during practice, quiet, steady calm, and cleansing. It's traditionally linked to the throat and crown chakras. If that resonates, keep one in your pocket on days you know you'll need to speak up. There's no single right way to carry it.

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