Overview
This polished Moss Agate Point showcases translucent chalcedony with intricate green dendritic patterns reminiscent of moss or foliage. The tapered tip emphasizes the stone’s natural banding and makes it a striking display piece or focal accent for meditation and mindful spaces.
Origin & Geological Formation
Moss Agate is a chalcedony variety (SiO₂) formed over millions of years when silica-rich water fills fractures and cavities in host rocks. As the silica deposits slowly crystallize, trace minerals like iron oxides, chlorite, or hornblende create branching, plant-like inclusions within the chalcedony. This results in the characteristic “mossy” appearance that makes each specimen one-of-a-kind.
