Summary
Grape Agate is the trade name for botryoidal chalcedony from Mamuju on the island of Sulawesi, Indonesia, where tiny purple spheres grow clustered together like bunches of grapes, each one made of microscopic quartz crystals radiating out from a center. A powerful stone of intuition in crystal tradition, it links the Third Eye and Crown Chakras and is kept close for mental clarity, dreams and visions, and the slow expansion of consciousness.

Care and cleansing
Grape Agate clusters are sturdy but the little spheres can break off if knocked, so set it where it will not be bumped. Rinse gently, dry with a soft brush and keep it out of long spells of direct sun, which can fade purple chalcedony. Cleanse with water, smoke, sound or moonlight.
