Moss agate is not banded, and therefore not strictly an Agate in scientific terms; but is included in the agate family. Agate is a variety of chalcedony, a mineral of the quartz family. It is clear to milky white, and is dendritic, meaning it has tree or fern-like inclusions (from the Greek dendron, meaning tree). The inclusions in this piece are probably iron.

Moss agate is known as the agate of warriors, and of gardeners and agriculture. Moss agate helps balance emotional energy. It helps the user to let go of anger and bitterness. It is believed to enhance concentration, persistence, endurance and success in one’s endeavors. It is thought to assist with sensitivities to weather and pollution. Midwives use it to assist in successful birthing.
