One of the most exciting and attractive finds of the past few years were these "Grape Agates" or Chalcedony spheres from Sulawesi. Now more correctly called botryoidal Amethyst, this material is unique in the mineral world and can be incredibly attractive. This is a select piece, well-formed on all sides with the desirable bicolor (green and purple) areas. The color on this piece is a good deep grape purple and the "front" is also covered with drusy Quartz that adds the most desired sparkling luster. In fine condition as seen, better specimens from this find are among the best values on the mineral market today, however recent mining has not been producing much of the higher quality.From: Well-Arranged Molecules
