📜 Other information:

Grape agate, also known as botryoidal chalcedony, is a variety of chalcedony , consisting of quartz crystallites and having a botryoidal morphology (i.e. formed of small joined balls reminiscent of a bunch of grapes ).

Analyses, particularly by Raman spectroscopy , show that it is not an agate , contrary to what its commercial name implies.

It is very often purple in color, less often white, gray, green or blue 2 .

The type locality for grape agate is Manakarra Beach on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi 3 .

The arrival of this variety on the international market was delayed due to the ban on the export of minerals in 2014 by the Indonesian government 4 .

The American market was only able to benefit from it from 2016 5 .
