Grape Agate M/L

Grape Agate M/LGrape Agate is a unique and distinctive mineral known from only a few locations on earth. Not technically an agate, it is instead formally known as botryoidal purple chalcedony. Named for the small spherical crystal nodules, these individual grapes can range in color from turquoise to deep purple, depending on the presence of minerals like manganese or iron during the formation of the crystals. Grape agate is a relatively new mineral and sought after

Colored fluorite clusters atop candle quartz bases are some of the most distinctive mineral specimens to originate from the mines of Inner Mongolia

521 million years old

highly variable Chalcedony spheres are almost geode-like in appearance and one can clearly see the process of geode or agate formation in progress in each specimen

Typically found in intricate
