Grape Agate

About Grape Agate

Grape agate is a striking purple botryoidal chalcedony variety originating from Indonesia, prized by collectors for its distinctive grape-like bubble formations and vibrant lavender-purple coloration. This compact microcrystalline quartz variety forms in rounded, clustered formations that resemble grape bunches, hence its popular name. Grape agate specimens are highly valued for their unique aesthetic appeal, exceptional purple color saturation, and the geological rarity of true botryoidal chalcedony formations of such vivid coloration.Grape agate occurs exclusively from Indonesian deposits, particularly in West Java and other regions where specific silica-deposition conditions create these characteristic formations. The mineral forms in cavities and fractures within volcanic and sedimentary rocks through the slow precipitation of colloidal silica. This location-specific occurrence, combined with the distinctive aesthetic appearance, makes Indonesian grape agate highly collectible.Explore our exclusive grape agate collection featuring exceptional specimens from Indonesian sources.
