Moss agate is a semi-precious gemstone formed from silicon dioxide. It is a form of chalcedony which includes minerals of a green color embedded in the stone, forming filaments and other patterns suggestive of moss. The field is a clear or milky-white quartz, and the included minerals are mainly oxides of manganese or iron. It is not a true form of agate, because it does not have concentric banding. Moss agate can be clear or milky white with green dendritic inclusions. Despite its name, moss agate does not contain organic matter and is usually formed from weathered volcanic rocks. Moss agate is found in countries across the world, including India, Brazil, Uruguay, central European countries, and the United States. It takes polishing well, having a clear sheen which further highlights the moss-like segments of the stone. It has been used by civilizations for carving for thousands of years, and was once known as “Mocha Stone” after the Arabian city of Mocha in Yemen, once the largest source in the world.
