The dark areas are dense, glossy chalcedony, while the white patches are softer, more opaque silica, and some pieces show fine banding or tiny sparkling druzy pockets. It is natural in color and is not dyed. Orca agate is sometimes confused with howlite or dalmatian jasper, but those stones are spotted rather than patched and lack the deep, glassy black of orca agate. Most orca agate comes from deposits in Madagascar, where it is cut and polished into hearts, flames, spheres and palm stones that show off its contrast. Its glossy surface and strong contrast make it a favorite for modern freeform shapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFurther Reading\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/news\/orca-agate-meaning-healing-properties-uses\"\u003eOrca Agate: Meaning, Properties and Uses\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/news\/crystal-shapes-guide-towers-spheres-hearts-properties\"\u003eCrystal Shapes Guide\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eLight up your space with a natural flame of balance and bold style.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crystal Destiny #1","offers":[{"title":"Orca Agate","offer_id":48485460181163,"sku":"1005008434504557-Default Title","price":95.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/0345\/5915\/files\/orca-agate-torch-flame-freeforms.webp?v=1793607685","url":"https:\/\/www.crystaldestiny.com\/products\/orca-agate-torch-flame","provider":"Crystal Destiny","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
