What Is Orca Agate

Orca Agate is a unique form of Blue Chalcedony Agate that is only found in Madagascar

Orca Agate is named after its colours and patterns that resemble the appearance of an orca/ killer whale. 

Orca Agate is famed in crystal healing circles for its soothing energy, reminiscent of the sea: the stone is said to exude peace and tranquility as well as power, making it a perfect stone for those in need of a self-confidence boost. 

What Is Orca Agate Made Of?

Agate is a member of the Chalcedony group of stones, which is a member of the large Quartz family.

All types of Quartz are composed from silica (otherwise known as silicon dioxide), but differ due to their crystal structures.

What Does Chalcedony Mean?

Chalcedony gems such as Agate are microcrystalline in structure, which means you can't see the crystals inside the stone. 

Agate is generally distinguished from other types of Chalcedony due to its banded patterns and translucency: for example, Jaspers tend to be opaque and you cannot see through them if you shine a light through them. 

Other types of Chalcedony gemstones include Jasper, Carnelian, and Chrysoprase.  

Other Types Of Agate

Agate comprises a diverse group of stones which can come in many colours and patterns.

Examples include Moss Agate, which demonstrates moss-like patterns (as well as Quartz Agate, which displays moss agate patterns as well as crystalline quartz), and Cherry Blossom Agate, which displays patterns that look like the flowers of the Cherry Blossom tree. 

Banded Agate showcases some of the stunning banded patterns Agate is famed for. 

Eye Agate is a prized form of Agate which displays concentric circles resembling eyes: our unique Amethyst Agate often displays these striking patterns. 

Where Does Orca Agate Come From? 

Agate in its various forms can be found all over the globe. 

Orca Agate is sourced from Madagascar

Agate History

Agate was first recorded as being discovered in Sicily, near the River Achates, from which it gained its name.
