Aspects of grape chalcedony:

Here's a raw stone that traveled over 11,000 km to be presented to you! Discover our beautiful purple botryoidal chalcedony directly from Indonesia. It is formed of rounded, grape-like quartz microcrystals present over most of the stone, averaging 2mm in diameter. On the back of the chalcedony, you will find clusters of green crystals formed in a cluster, looking as if they had been placed on top. A display stand will be offered with your stone so you can carefully place it among your other collection crystals, or in a place of your choice if you simply wish to admire it.

Note: Particular care has been taken to best respect the natural colors of the minerals offered to you. Photos are taken under the best conditions and slightly retouched to best match the original stone. However, there may be slight contrasts due to the different screens you use and their brightness.
