As Moss Agate is not banded, then technically it is not an Agate, but a Chalcedony, all part of the Quartz family. Moss Agate looks as though it has tiny plants trapped inside, hence its name, but the inclusions seen in Moss Agate are actually green fern like dendrites of manganese or iron. More recently Moss Agate from Indonesia has been seen which has red dendrites which happens due to the corrosion of the iron dendrites.

Moss Agate is associated with gardening and new crops, making it perfect for those with green thumbs. It can also help in making new friends and attracting prosperity, wealth, and success. It is also great for new beginnings and improving self-esteem. Moss Agate encourages trust and hope, balancing emotions to relieve stress and fear. It can also speed up the recovery from illnesses and help with concentration, endurance, and persistence. Finally, it aids in self-expression and communication while helping to release trapped emotions.
