Moss Agate Precious Stone for Sale – Natural Moss Agate is a variety of agate, which is a form of chalcedony, a type of microcrystalline quartz. It is known for its unique appearance and beautiful patterns resembling moss or foliage, hence the name “moss agate.” The patterns are created by the presence of minerals or other impurities in the silica solution that forms the agate.  Moss agate typically has a translucent to opaque appearance and a waxy or vitreous lustre. It is usually composed of alternating layers of silica and various minerals, which give it its characteristic green coloration. The green hues can range from pale, almost white, to dark green, and sometimes include shades of blue or brown.

The moss-like patterns found in moss agate can take various forms, such as branching, fern-like inclusions, or mossy clusters. These patterns often resemble landscapes, forests, or gardens, creating a sense of natural beauty and tranquility. The inclusions are typically composed of minerals like chlorite, hornblende, or manganese oxide.

Due to its earthy and organic appearance, moss agate is associated with the energies of nature, growth, and abundance, making it popular among those interested in crystal healing and metaphysical properties. It is thought to enhance connection with nature, promote emotional balance, and foster personal growth. It is often used as a grounding stone, helping to bring stability and harmony to one’s life. Moss agate is also associated with the heart chakra, symbolising compassion and attracting abundance and prosperity.
