Agate is considered a protective stone. It is believed to attract strength and offer protection from bad dreams, stress and the draining of energy. Agate is said to balance energies and awaken talents. Agate belongs to the quartz (silicon dioxide) family of minerals. The quartz group is the second most abundant mineral found on earth's continental crust, second only to the feldspar mineral group. Quartz is distinguished and separated into two main branches: macrocrystalline quartz and cryptocrystalline quartz. Agate is classified under the cryptocrystalline variety and more specifically, as a variety of chalcedony quartz. Cryptocrystalline specimens crystal structures are so fine, they cannot be seen - even with the aid of a microscope. Agate is often referred to as being ‘microcrystalline'; this term merely suggests that the crystal structure is just slightly larger than most other cryptocrystalline species. The difference between micro and cryptocrystalline is not clearly defined, so it would not be considered incorrect to describe agate as either Most Popular Agate Varieties: Banded agate, blue agate, carnelian, sard, sardonyx, onyx, chrysocolla, eye agate, dendritic chalcedony (agate), fire agate, agate geode, moss agate and brecciated agate Agate gemstones are one of the oldest stones in recorded history.

It is clear to milky white, with dendritic inclusions of manganese or iron that has grown into patterns similar to moss or lichen. Spots of red may occur in some specimens, and occasionally the crystal is dark green with bluish inclusions. Throughout history and all cultures, Moss Agate has been known as the crystal of gardeners and agriculture. It was considered a miraculous healing stone for tribal priests of the past, giving them power to interact with our human organic system, and was used as a talisman to make warriors strong and victorious.
