Moss Agate Cube Bracelet I (8mm)

It looks like there is a forest growing inside each bead. What you are seeing is millions of years of mineral deposits that happen to resemble moss, ferns, and tree branches.

Product Highlights:

• The Stone: Moss agate in faceted cube beads. Each one shows green, grey, white, and warm brown patterns that look like miniature landscapes trapped under glass. Some beads appear to contain entire forests. Others look like aerial views of a riverbed. The green patterns are not plants. They are mineral deposits like iron and manganese that seeped into the stone as it formed. This created patterns that mimic plant life with amazing accuracy. The faceted cube cut adds geometric structure to an organic-looking stone. No two beads carry the same scene. Finished with sterling silver logo cube end caps and a sterling silver clasp.
• History: Agate has been treasured since the earliest times. The Sumerians were the first to describe the power of agate in writing over 5,000 years ago. The name itself comes from a Greek writer who said that all agates came from the Achates River in Sicily. Moss agate has long been linked to farming and growth. In European folk tradition, farmers would hang moss agate from trees and tie it to the horns of oxen while plowing. They believed it would encourage successful harvests. In medieval Europe, gardeners placed it among their crops to promote abundance and protect against bad weather. Its connection to the land has never faded.
• The Belief: In modern crystal practice, moss agate is a heart chakra stone, said to strengthen emotional balance, patience, and a connection to nature. It is sometimes called the stone of new beginnings because it is known to support growth and fresh starts.

Our pieces are made with natural gemstones; slight variations in color, size, and pattern may occur.
