Moss agate
is a semi-precious gemstone formed from silicon dioxide. It is a form of chalcedony and can be clear or milky white, with green dendritic inclusions that resemble moss. The colours are formed due to trace amounts of metal present as an impurity, such as chrome or iron. The metals can make different colours depending on their valence (oxidation state). Despite its name, moss agate does not contain organic matter and is usually formed from weathered volcanic rocks.
Moss Agate, also known as Dendritic Agate, is a semi-opaque stone with swirls of white and green that look like moss. All Agates are respected as healing and protective stones. It is especially attractive to nature spirits and can assist you with making a deeper connection to the Earth.
