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.

Unakite is a mix of pink feldspar, green epidote, and clear quartz fused together in one rock. The pink and green together are the whole appeal. It's the stone version of a perfect piece of watermelon. Named after Unaka Mountains in North Carolina-Tennessee border.

Sourced directly from Northern Cape, South Africa.

Unakite has long been used in practices around working through difficult feelings at your own pace, gentle, patient care for yourself, and coming back to yourself with kindness. It's traditionally linked to the heart and root chakras. If that resonates, hold one over your chest for a few breaths when you need to soften. There's no single right way to carry it.

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