Moss agate is a semi-precious stone with inclusions of green, which form bizarre patterns resembling moss or other vegetation. The colour of the stone is white or beige. The colour of the stone depends on the amount of chromium and iron. Moss agate contains no organic substances and is usually formed from weathered volcanic rocks. It is found in many countries such as Brazil, Uruguay, and the United States, among others. Native American Indians used moss agate as a stone of strength, and it was successfully used to improve weather conditions.
It has also been used by many people as a stone of good fortune. It is still quite widely used because it has such an unusual appearance and properties.
