Moss Agate: Meaning, Metaphysical & Healing Properties

Crystals

Moss Agate, nicknamed the Gardener's stone, is a beautiful crystal of connection with nature as well as physical and emotional health/balance. It takes its name from the green (sometimes brownish/yellow/red) moss-like inclusions of green hornblende or chlorite. Most agates are distinctive from their banding, but Moss Agate is different in that respect and more similar to tree agate and dendritic agate.

Looking at a piece of moss agate closely is really mesmerizing and the inclusions really do look just like moss.

It's a gentle stone that will work with you to heal and help reach a point of harmony within yourself.

Personal note: Moss Agate is quickly turning into one of my favorite crystals in my own journey of healing from chronic imbalances and digestive issues.
