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.

Septarian is a concretion (carbonate).

These raw pieces come from Mahajanga, Madagascar. It's soft (Mohs 3.5), so handle it with a little care, keep it dry, and store it in its own pouch so harder stones don't scratch it.

In crystal traditions, septarian is often associated with staying connected to your body and the moment, settling into who you already are, and a sense of groundedness when things feel uncertain. It's traditionally linked to the root and solar plexus chakras. If that resonates, keep a piece in your pocket during the day for a steadying presence. Work with it the way that fits your own practice.

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