Appearances & Origins

Grape Agate is relatively new to the gemstone industry as it was only introduced in 2016. It was found in the Mamuju area of the Western Sulawesi Coast in Indonesia and is only mined in a very small area. Thus, it is quite rare and hard to come by.

Even though it is called Grape Agate, it is not actually an agate, but a botryoidal purple chalcedony. Botryoidal refers to the tiny sphere shaped crystals that have naturally formed together, giving it’s ‘grape like’ appearance. 

The crystals are formed in small voids left inside volcanic rock (called andesite pillow lava). Grape Agate can be white, purple or green depending on the deposit.

Chakras,  Properties & Placement  

Grape Agate is an excellent stone for relieving stress and anxiety. Sometimes our minds are filled with worries and we allow our imagination to take us to places where fearful thoughts can become so powerful that we are debilitated. Grape Agate can support healthy thinking as it clears the aura of unwanted energy and replaces it with peace and protection. With this comes a feeling of stability which, in turn, leads to emotional security. In this place, you can gain confidence in yourself and your intuition instead of allowing your thoughts to darken. 

Grape Agate can help open your third eye so that you can gain insight into your dreams and deflect nightmares. It also resonates with the crown chakra so is a perfect companion for meditation.

Styling

Grape Agate is perfectly placed in a sacred or wellness space as it assists with intuition and mediation. 

It is also a wonderful crystal to have by the bed to calm anxious minds and to support those who suffer nightmares. 

It styles well with neutral or soft tones and adds a lift with its tiny sparkling spheres.
