Most moss agate forms in volcanic regions where silica-rich water deposits minerals over extended periods. Major sources include India, Brazil, Uruguay, and parts of the western United States. The specific mineral content of each location affects the coloring of the inclusions.
Moss agate measures 6.5-7 on the Mohs hardness scale, placing it in the same range as quartz. This hardness makes it resistant to scratches from common materials and suitable for regular wear as a pendant, which receives less impact than rings or bracelets.
Clean moss agate with warm water and mild soap using a soft cloth. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners, harsh chemicals, and sudden temperature changes. Store your pendant separately from harder gemstones like diamonds or sapphires to prevent surface scratches.
