In principle I keep the weight below 5 grams per earring, so it doesn’t stretch or hurt your ears even if you wear it the whole day. Occasionally, for some designs, that weight limit exceeds by a gram – every pair has their specific weight marked under the general description or “dimensions” tab.
Zodiac Stone of Virgo
Moss Agate, despite its name, is not truly an agate but a variety of chalcedony with inclusions of minerals like manganese or iron that create moss-like patterns. It’s primarily found in India, Brazil, and the United States. There’s no lab-grown version since its unique patterns are a natural phenomenon.
The name “moss agate” comes from its moss-like inclusions, although it’s technically not an agate but a type of chalcedony. It’s also known as:
Mocha Stone, named after the Yemeni port of Mocha, where a similar stone was once traded.
Dendritic Agate or Tree Agate due to its tree or fern-like patterns.
Moss Agate aligns with the Earth, symbolizing growth, abundance, and new beginnings. It’s connected to the heart chakra, fostering emotional balance, and the root chakra for grounding:
Ancient Cultures: While not extensively documented in ancient lore, moss agate was valued for its supposed powers to enhance crop fertility and connect with the earth’s energies.
Native American Traditions: Used for its healing properties, believed to bring harmony with nature and stimulate the growth of new ventures.
Modern Crystal Healing: Moss Agate is used to attract abundance in wealth, health, and relationships. It’s seen as a stone that supports new beginnings, helping to clear emotional blockages and promote resilience.
