Agate is a type of chalcedony characterized by curved and angular bands of color that vary in hue and transparency. From patterns of lace, moss, and branches to sweeping landscapes of deserts and forests, agate is a unique and diverse gemstone. Agate typically forms inside gas cavities within volcanic rocks, with its characteristic banding resulting from growth layers that follow the contours of the cavity. In Moss Agate, the distinctive mossy inclusions are caused by the dark greenish mineral chlorite trapped within the stone.
These 7mm round cabochons are semi-transparent to translucent, showcasing medium to dark green inclusions that give each stone its signature organic character. Because every piece is shaped by nature, no two stones are identical—each is genuinely one-of-a-kind. Clean with warm, soapy water only; avoid ultrasonic and steam cleaners.
