XL Grape Agate Specimen
XL Grape Agate Specimen
Description
This Grape Agate statement piece features densely packed, sparkly botryoidal formations in soft lavender to muted lilac tones, with subtle transitions into pale green along the base. The rounded, orb-like crystal growth creates a sculptural surface that feels almost architectural, with natural cavities and layered contours giving it depth from every angle. At 1.5 kg, it carries visual weight while maintaining intricate, fine texture across the surface.
Grape Agate is a trade name for botryoidal purple chalcedony, most notably sourced from Mamuju, Sulawesi, Indonesia. It forms through silica-rich solutions that slowly deposit microscopic quartz crystals in rounded clusters, creating the distinctive grape-like structure. Larger, undisturbed pieces like this are especially sought after for their sculptural presence and intact crystal coverage.
Grape Agate is often associated with intuition and inner calm. It is believed to support clarity of thought and gentle grounding energy.

Note
All crystals and ceramic works offered by Atelier Lithic are inherently unique. Variations in size, colour, surface texture, and form are natural and should be expected.
Crystals are natural materials formed in the earth and may include surface irregularities such as natural fissures, internal veils, growth marks, contact points from where the crystal was attached to the host rock, or areas where the specimen was mined or extracted. These features are part of the crystal’s natural formation and are not considered defects. Defects are disclosed within the item description.
For crystals:
- When a listing includes numbered options (for example, 001, 002, etc.), each number corresponds to a specific crystal shown in the photos. Selecting a number means you will receive that exact crystal.
- When a crystal is shown as a group or range and sold as a quantity of one without numbered options, the images represent examples of what is available. You will receive one crystal, selected from the group, with natural variation.
For ceramics:
- All ceramic pieces are one of a kind. Unless otherwise stated, you will receive the exact piece shown in the listing photos.
