What Is Grape Agate?
Grape Agate is a great unique name, but it’s not scientifically accurate. It’s really a Chalcedony, not a Agate. It has beautiful purple aggregates, these are tiny quartz crystals with a spherical (botryoidal) habit. The name reflects the beautiful purple colors and how they occur in clusters that resemble a bunch of grapes.
The "grapes" of these specimens are very small. They range between 2-8 millimeters across. Although purple is the best color to match the "grape" name, some specimens have grapes that are blue, green, gray, and white.
