I try my best to take accurate colour representation however sometimes there is a variance in colour due to lighting and monitor colour.

Grape Agate

Grape Agate is a rare form of Amethyst that is only found on the western coast of Sulawesi an island in Indonesia.  The name ‘Grape Agate’ was given due to the appearance and shape of the stone, as they look like bunches of grapes.  Grape Agates first appeared on the market around 2016 and have been popular since partly due to the catchy name.

 So is ‘Grape Agate’ Agate?

No the name with given for many for the fun look of the stone and is incorrect as the stone is not a form of Agate.  Grape Agate is really a form of purple quartz (Amethyst) with spherical (botryoidal) formations.  These sphere shapes are usually found in clusters or druzy with purple being the most common colour, however, they can range in colour from purple, white, grey, green and blue/green. 

So what is Grape Agate?

After looking at all of the formation facts it is clear that ‘Grape Agate’ should really be called ‘Botryoidal Amehtyst’ – but where is the fun in that?
