Faceted Moss Agate Bead Strand (8mm)

Faceted Moss Agate Bead Strand (8mm)

A Stone of Nature’s Tranquility

This enchanting strand features beautiful 8mm faceted beads of natural Moss Agate, a unique variety of chalcedony that is not a true agate as it lacks concentric banding. Instead, it is celebrated for its beautiful moss-like inclusions of manganese or iron oxide that create a miniature forest landscape within each translucent to milky-white stone. For centuries, it has been considered a stone of agriculture and new beginnings, cherished by gardeners and those seeking a deeper connection to the earth. The masterful faceting on each bead enhances the depth of its inner world, making this strand from our Moss Agate collection a perfect choice for crafting jewelry that feels both grounding and deeply serene.
