Origin, Mineralogy, and Properties at a Glance

Grape Agate Druzy forms in rock cavities and hollows, where silica-rich water slowly deposits and crystallizes. Over long periods of time, the namesake grape clusters grow – spherical formations with a typical diameter of 2 mm to 8 mm. Despite its popular name, it is not, mineralogically speaking, classic agate: the internal structure and texture differ significantly. Strictly speaking, it is a chalcedony, and the purple hue – the most common one – corresponds to what we know as amethyst. The name "Grape Agate" is an established trade name that has become globally accepted.
