Moss Agate
An Introduction to Moss Agate
Moss Agate is a variety of Chalcedony, with hues of clear to milky white to dark green. As an Agate, this stone also belongs to the Quartz group, under which lies the Chalcedony family. The green specks in Moss Agate are its defining feature, resembling patterns similar to moss or lichen.
These inclusions are of manganese or iron, and typically appear in light yellow-green to blue-green to deep moss green. The colors form when there are subtle amounts of metal present as impurities, like iron or chrome.
Although Moss Agate’s name stems from the influence of nature, it actually doesn’t contain any organic matter. In fact, it’s usually formed from weathered volcanic rocks. Moss agate is commonly found in central Europe, the western part of the US, India, Uruguay and Brazil.
Historically, Moss Agate has been considered a crystal of agricultural abundance and used as a healing stone by tribal priests and as a talisman for warriors. One of Moss Agate’s healing properties is that it brings calmness and helps draw us closer to nature whenever we are wanting to disconnect from the chaos of the modern world. Moss agate can help build connections with others and nurture those genuine relationships.
