Moss Agate is a translucent to semi-transparent variety of chalcedony (a microcrystalline quartz) that is characterised by its distinctive dendritic inclusions of manganese or iron oxide, which form fascinating patterns resembling moss, fern, or lichen. The base colour is often clear or milky white, beautifully contrasting with the green or reddish-brown inclusions. It has a durable structure and a waxy to vitreous lustre, making it a highly popular and affordable choice for all forms of jewellery.

Moss Agate is known as the "Stone of Connection to Nature and New Beginnings." It carries a powerful, grounding energy that reconnects the user to the Earth's rhythms and healing forces. It promotes growth, abundance, and fertility, often being called a "gardener's stone." It encourages patience, stability, and emotional balance, helping to dissolve anger and fear. It is particularly effective at inspiring creativity, strengthening self-esteem, and encouraging the honourable pursuit of new ventures.
