Orca agate has only been known for a good ten years, so there is little certainty about the significance of the mineral in gemstone healing. Due to its colorfulness, orca agate is often used to reconcile opposites such as white and black, head and gut, intuition and mind. Initial experience suggests that the gemstone combines the power of Onyx (black chalcedony) with the themes of enforcement, sober thinking and logic with that of white Agate (white) (security, light-heartedness, sincerity).
