If you are looking for a rare and unusual mineral to add to your collection and join your other wonders, here is our selection of botryoidal or grape chalcedony, mistakenly called grape agate (no, it is not an agate at all!).
Hailing from the island of Sulawesi, Indonesia, botryoidal chalcedony is made of quartz crystallites that strangely resemble a bunch of grapes. Primarily purple with some light to very dark shades for the rarest ones, white, gray, or green botryoidal chalcedony can also be found.
Characteristics of botryoidal chalcedony:
Length: 5.1cm
Width: 3cm
Height: 3.2cm
Weight: 35g
Chalcedony hardness: 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale
Variety of chalcedony in microcrystalline quartz form
Aspects of grape chalcedony:
A very high-quality piece from Indonesia, here is a sublime botryoidal chalcedony with a rare color demarcation. You will find a lovely light purple on top of the stone, sparkling in the sunlight, and smaller, rounded off-white crystals underneath. It is entirely composed of rounded microcrystalline quartz, strangely resembling a bunch of grapes. It will be delivered with a suitable translucent base so you can display your mineral as you wish in your collection.
Note: Particular care has been taken to best respect the natural colors of the minerals offered to you. The photos are taken in the best conditions, and slightly retouched to best approximate the original stone. However, there may be slight contrasts due to your different screens used and their brightness.
