About This Orca Agate

Orca Agate is a chalcedony (quartz variety).

Our palm stones are sourced from Sofia, Madagascar. Worth knowing: a lot of the orca agate on the market is dyed. What we carry is natural and untreated.

It is one of the most diverse and widely collected mineral groups, with dozens of named varieties based on color, pattern, and origin.

Traditionally Used For

Orca agate is traditionally a stone for quiet, steady calm, working through difficult feelings at your own pace, and settling into who you already are. It's traditionally linked to the throat and root chakras. If that resonates, keep one in your pocket on days you know you'll need to speak up. Let it become part of your own quiet routine.

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

Care and Use

Sensitivity Low

Orca Agate sits at 6.5-7 on the Mohs scale, about as hard as glass, so it handles daily use but will scratch against harder stones. Keep chemical cleaners away from it; they can etch the surface.
