AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Special specimen of Grape Agate, a mineral formed from purple botroidal chalcedony, which consists of small spheres that have naturally formed together.
Calcedonio forms in various environments, often within geodes where it covers cavities with mammillated shapes.
Its discovery is relatively recent and comes from Indonesia: perfect to expand your collection with a truly unique specimen!
This sample is particularly large and of excellent quality; it has been mounted on a black wood base with a special steel gripping system, very beautiful and elegant, a natural history object with great aesthetic charm.
