Description:
Indian agate, also known as Indian moss agate or simply moss agate, is a type of agate gemstone that originates from India. It is a variety of chalcedony, which is a microcrystalline form of quartz. Indian agate is characterized by its unique appearance, featuring a translucent to opaque base with green or brown moss-like inclusions that resemble patterns found in nature.
The distinctive moss-like inclusions in Indian agate are created by mineral impurities, such as iron or manganese, which create dendritic formations within the stone. These formations often resemble ferns, plants, or landscapes, adding to the stone’s natural beauty.
Indian agate is valued for its earthy and grounding energy. It is believed to promote balance, stability, and connection with nature. The stone is associated with abundance, growth, and fertility, and is often used in crystal healing and meditation practices to enhance these qualities.
In terms of hardness, Indian agate ranks at 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale, making it relatively durable.
