Description

A moss agate tower, cut and polished from natural moss agate into a six sided standing point. There are five to choose from, from 10cm desk towers to a 22cm statement piece, in shades of forest green, sage, grey and white, some with sparkling pockets of druzy.

Choose your moss agate tower

• A, 11cm, 112g, £16. Dark green moss with patches of white and soft peach, little rust brown agate eyes, and a sparkling peach druzy pocket near the tip.
• C, 22cm, 877g, £62. The tallest of the set and a real statement piece. Deep green moss speckled thickly over white and grey agate, with cream flecks and tiny druzy pockets catching the light.
• D, 10cm, 102g, £16. Dark forest green with a bright band of white crystalline agate across the middle and a glimpse of honey at the tip.
• E, 10cm, 102g, £12. Soft grey and white swirled with lines of darker moss, with a tiny starry druzy pocket near the tip.
• F, 10cm, 102g, £12. Sage green moss drifting over pale blue grey agate, with white flecks around the tip.

Every piece is photographed on its own, and the letter in the dropdown matches the photos, so the moss agate tower you see is the one you receive.

What moss agate is

Moss agate is a form of chalcedony, a fine grained quartz. Despite the name it holds no real moss: the green threads and clouds are mineral inclusions, often chlorite or hornblende, that grew through the stone in shapes that look like moss, ferns and tiny woodland scenes.

Some towers open into small cavities lined with tiny sparkling quartz crystals, known as druzy, and no two carry the same pattern.

Traditional correspondences

Moss agate is traditionally known as the gardener’s stone, linked with the heart chakra and with growth, patience, abundance and a closer connection to nature. A tower is often placed on a nature altar, beside houseplants or on a desk as a steady reminder of what is being grown.

Its green, living look suits the turning of the seasons, from Ostara and Beltane in spring to the harvest of Mabon.

Correspondences are traditional and are offered as part of a practice, not as a substitute for medical or professional advice.

Caring for your moss agate tower

Agate is around 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale and takes everyday handling well, but the tip and edges can chip if a tower is knocked over. Stand it on a flat surface away from the edge of a shelf, and keep druzy pockets free of dust with a soft brush. To cleanse, use sound, breath or moonlight.
