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.

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.

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.
