Red Agate, a iron-rich chalcedony variety. Deep red to burgundy banding from natural iron oxide content.

Where does it come from?

This batch is from Matabeleland South Province, Zimbabwe.

Grade AA, red. Each piece 1.50-3 inches.

Some commercial red agate is heat-treated to deepen color. Ours is sourced from natural deposits where color is inherent.

What is it traditionally used for?

Red Agate is often worked with for grounding practice, kept on a desk or carried during transitions and busy days. Traditionally associated with the root chakra.

How should I care for it?

Wipe with a soft dry cloth. Mohs 6.5 to 7.

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.

Crystal Family: Silicate - Chalcedony
Mohs Hardness: 7
Origin: Matabeleland South Province, Zimbabwe
Beginner Friendly: Yes
Treatment Awareness: Medium (dyeing possible)

Red Agate is part of the silicate - chalcedony family. Used in ancient civilizations for protection and decoration.

Sourced directly from Matabeleland South Province, Zimbabwe. Worth knowing: a lot of the red agate on the market is dyed. What we carry is natural and untreated.

Red agate is traditionally a stone for staying connected to your body and the moment, a sense of groundedness when things feel uncertain, and a quiet sense of renewal. It's traditionally linked to the root chakra. If that resonates, set one on the floor near where you sit to read or work. 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.
