Moss Agate is a beautiful gemstone with dendritic moss like patterns in green, orange or red migrating throughout the stone. Each gemstone is completely unique. 

Moss Agate is a silicon dioxide with thread like dendritic inclusions caused by the presence of oxides of manganese or iron. These dendrites create the moss like patterns within the stone creating a marbled effect. Moss Agate is formed from pre existing weathered volcanic rocks.

Moss Agate is thought to encourage tranquility and emotional balance and was often exchanged as a token between friends. It is one of the birthstones for Virgo.
