Two Moss Agate gemstones set in silver creating unusual rings . The right gemstone is lighter in colour, the left gemstone shows deep green moss like strands. 

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. Moss Agate is formed from pre existing weathered volcanic rocks. Agate artefacts have been found in Neolithic deposits dating back 10.000 BC .

This gemstone is quite enigmatic. Hold it up to the light and see a myriad of threads within it . Place it on a white surface and the appearance chages again . When worn it has a beautiful subtle appearance against the skin 

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.
