    About Moss Agate  –

     

    Moss Agate is a translucent chalcedony filled with green, moss-like inclusions that look like a tiny garden trapped in stone. Despite its name it usually lacks the banding of true agate.

     

    It forms in cavities in volcanic rocks, where silica-rich water deposits chalcedony around green minerals such as chlorite and hornblende.

    Cool Facts  –

     

    The green in moss agate is not moss at all but tiny mineral inclusions, usually chlorite or hornblende, that grew in fern-like patterns as the agate formed.

     

    Agate forms in gas bubbles left in cooling lava, filling layer by layer with silica-rich water over millions of years.

     

    Scotland is famous for its agates – the beaches and fields of Fife and Angus have been searched for "Scotch pebbles" for centuries.

     

    The 'moss' is purely mineral, not plant; it is simply green crystals that happened to grow in branching shapes.
