Pink Moss Agate Larger Sizes
Moss agate is a type of chalcedony that often features distinctive moss-like inclusions.
Despite the similarity to organic matter, the patterns are crystals of hornblende or chlorite. Although usually green, inclusions can also be red or brown due to oxidation.
Inclusions in moss agate can also be dendritic. The word 'dendrite' comes from the Greek 'dendron', meaning 'tree'. Dendritic inclusions have a branching or tree-like shape. Dendrites coloured by iron or manganese oxides are black or brown.
The stone used to produce moss agate crystals is heavily included. The inclusions give each stone a unique appearance. Colours are mostly hues of red, brown, and pink. It's not possible to say for certain whether the colours are completely natural or whether the stone has been heated.
These moss agate crystals are often sold as pink moss agate. This is a trade name that's been introduced quite recently.
Moss agate has a vitreous lustre so it reflects light in a similar way to glass.
Although classed as a large stone, size can vary from piece to piece. We've split these moss agate tumbled stones into medium and large.
