Collection: ORCA AGATE

💎 Orca Agate

Also known as: Orca Stone, Blue Chalcedony Agate

🌈 Color Variations

• Soft to deep oceanic blues with gray, black, white, and occasional brown banding
• Patterns often resemble ripples, waves, or orca silhouettes
• Polished forms may show translucency and smooth banding; raw forms hold a matte, chalky texture

🌍 Crystal Family & Formation

Member of the Chalcedony family (a microcrystalline Quartz). Forms over 50–100 million years through rhythmic silica deposition in volcanic rock. Each band is a layered memory — slow, silent, and emotionally symbolic.

✨ Common Inclusions

• Fortification banding (wave-like or concentric patterns)
• Druzy quartz pockets in raw forms
• Subtle translucency in edges or thin slices

✨ Rare Inclusions

• Scenic banding that resembles seascapes ("whale-tail" or "ocean view" Orca Agate)
• Quartz veining or dendritic (tree-like) inclusions

📍 Common Locality

Madagascar — known for high contrast and energetically resonant material

☀️ Sunlight & Water Safety

• Raw: Prone to fading in direct sun; avoid water to preserve structure
• Polished: More stable but still fade-sensitive; gentle rinse okay, avoid soaking
• Fire Risk: None

🌀 Chakra Connection

Throat & Root Chakras — place on the throat for emotional expression, or over the heart for journaling sessions that involve ancestral or inner child themes

✨ Metaphysical Attributes

• Supports the release of long-held emotional pain that’s been stored as energy and pushed to the back of your subconscious
• Gently dissolves internal walls that were once necessary for survival but now manifest as self-sabotage or emotional shutdown
• Encourages awareness to create vibrational internal shifts — especially where emotional memory is stored in the body and has overshadowed authentic expression or communication
• Brings alignment to needs that enlighten and encourage self-expression, bringing forth your clarity, voice, and self-trust
• Encourages your awareness and need to develop a deep sense of safety in feeling, allowing you to move through emotional experiences rather than around them
• Brings gentle awareness to inner child wounds, inviting you to meet yourself at the age when safety, love, or security were missing — and to offer what was once needed, now with presence and compassion

💬 Why You Might Be Drawn to This Crystal

• Holding in emotions has become second nature — not because you chose it, but because it became easier over time
• Speaking honestly often comes with a pause, a scan of whether it’s worth the risk
