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.

Black moonstone is a dark variety of moonstone, grey-to-black with the same internal flash (called adularescence) that makes regular moonstone glow from within. The darker base color makes the flash more dramatic.

We bring these palm stones in from Amoron'i Mania, Madagascar.

Those who work with black moonstone often turn to it for staying connected to your body and the moment, a sense of groundedness when things feel uncertain, and listening to the quieter signals. It's traditionally linked to the root and crown chakras. If that resonates, hold one in your non-dominant hand for a few breaths when things feel shaky. How you use it is up to you.

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