Facts:
- The name “grade agate” is a misnomer. “Amethyst” better honors mineralogical and gemological definitions and the adjective “botryoidal” communicates a rounded shape. So the name “botryoidal amethyst” is a name that is scientifically correct, but is not as much fun as “grape agate”.
- It is found in the Mamuju area, near the western coast of Sulawesi, an island of Indonesia and because it is only found in this location, it is valuable and rare.
- Mining for the grape agate is an arduous task. One must hike several hours through thick jungle vegetation. Next, the soil must be removed to expose the weathering andesite bedrock that lies beneath in order to locate voids that contain the agate. The miners use steel rods to probe the ground in search of any open spaces.
