Moss Agate Leaf

Moss agate is a type of chalcedony, a variety of quartz that forms in masses and has a microcrystalline structure. Its name comes from the green or blue-green moss-like inclusions that resemble foliage or dendritic patterns within the stone, which are actually minerals such as chlorite or hornblende. These inclusions create unique patterns and designs that make each moss agate specimen distinct.

Moss agate is typically found in various locations around the world, including India, Brazil, Uruguay, the United States (particularly in Montana), Australia, and Russia. It's often used in jewelry and decorative pieces due to its natural beauty and earthy colors.
