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.

Named after Selene, the Greek goddess of the moon.

Our polished crystals & decor are sourced from New Mexico, USA. At 2 on the Mohs scale, it's on the softer end. Keep it away from water and store it separately from harder pieces.
