Agate, Grape

Grape Agate, is not actually agate at all, it is botryoidal purple chalcedony. The name refers to the habit (crystal growth pattern) and color resembling bunches of grapes.
If you check out enough of my collection, you will notice many specimens chemically are SiO2 but look nothing alike, because it's complicated :-)
