Introduction To Moss Agate
Moss agate is a high-quality green or brown chalcedony with manganese oxide, hornblende and iron inclusions. In ancient times, Yemen on the shore of the Red Sea also had a lot of resources of this kind of stone, so the moss-patterned agate was also called Mukhaite because of the nearby trading center Mukha.
Holding a piece of moss-patterned agate is like focusing the energy of nature in your hands: it’s like walking through a fern-leaf forest, like a bird’s-eye view of the mouth of a big river, or the perspective of seeing the earth from outer space.
