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.

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.

Petrified wood is wood that turned to stone over millions of years as silica replaced the original cellular structure. Good pieces still show the growth rings, the grain, the knots. Every piece is a record of a tree that lived a long time ago.

Hand-selected from Boeny, Madagascar.

Petrified Wood is associated with grounding, ancient wisdom, and patience.

Those who work with petrified wood often turn to it for staying connected to your body and the moment, a sense of groundedness when things feel uncertain, and gentle, patient care for yourself. It's traditionally linked to the root chakra. If that resonates, keep a piece in your pocket during the day for a steadying presence. How you use it is up to you.

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