Moss Agate is a silicon dioxide with thread like dendritic inclusions caused by the presence of oxides of manganese or iron. These dendrites create the moss like patterns within the stone creating a marbled effect. Moss Agate is formed from pre existing weathered volcanic rocks. Agate artefacts have been found in Neolithic deposits dating back 10.000 BC .

Moss Agate is thought to encourage tranquility and emotional balance and was often exchanged as a token between friends. It is one of the birthstones for Virgo.
