About Tree Moss Agate
Tree Moss Agate is a variety of chalcedony (a form of silica) which is characterized by its dendritic inclusions. These unique, branching patterns are formed by traces of manganese or iron oxide, giving the stone its characteristic green color and moss-like appearance.
Fascinating Facts & Origin:
• Formation: Unlike many stones that acquire their color from a solid mineral, the green "moss" in this agate is created by mineral impurities that have grown throughout the stone in fractal, branching patterns as the stone formed.
• Source: While Moss Agate is found in several locations globally, a significant amount of high-quality material is sourced from regions like India, Brazil, and the United States (particularly in areas like Oregon and Washington).
• Hardness: Tree Moss Agate registers a 6.5–7 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it a durable and suitable stone for everyday wear.
Care Instructions
To keep your sterling silver and agate earrings looking their best:
• Store them in a dry place when not wearing.
• Avoid contact with harsh chemicals, perfumes, and lotions.
• Clean the silver gently with a soft polishing cloth.
