A Brief History of Moss Agate

Although called “agate,” Moss Agate is actually a form of chalcedony with mineral inclusions rather than banded layers. It has been admired across many cultures:

• In ancient civilizations, Moss Agate was carried by farmers as a good-luck charm for fertility, healthy crops and successful harvests.
• In 18th-century Britain, it was considered the gardener’s stone, believed to increase plant growth and prosperity.
• Healers and shamans used it to connect with earth spirits, elemental energies and the healing intelligence of nature.
• It was also worn as a stone of stability in new ventures, particularly for business, land-based work, and personal expansion.

Moss Agate remains a favourite crystal for growth on all levels — physical, emotional, spiritual and financial.
