CRYSTAL ID CARDS
💎 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
