Chalcedony Specimens from Indonesia (Botryoidal – known as Grape Agate)

Botryoidal Chalcedony Specimens (Grape Agate)

Natural pieces of Botryoidal Chalcedony / Grape Agate, mined in Mamuju Regency, West Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. This haven't been on the market for too long, and they have become very popular.

These specimen pieces usually show a decent range of the botryoidal nature and are a good shade of purple. Some do have some edge and surface damage; the balls themselves are easy to dislodge so be careful when handling.

They are commonly referred to as 'Grape Agate' but are not a type of Agate. This name is purely a trade/marketing name, possibly because no-one can pronounce or spell Botryoidal Chalcedony!
