Montana Moss Agate is a semi-precious stone that is found only in the Yellowstone River and its tributaries between Sidney and Billings Montana.
These products of “Mother Nature”, were formed as a result of volcanic eruptions and massive lava flows in the Yellowstone Park area. Montana Moss Agate is formed from chalcedony, one of the many types of quartz. Chalcedony has a waxy luster and can be semitransparent or translucent. It is found in a wide range of colors, but the colors most common are white to gray, grayish-blue or a shade of pale brown ranging to almost black.

Montana Moss Agate gets its red color from iron oxide and the black color from manganese oxide. The fern-like effects of trees, shrubs and mountain scenes come from tiny canals inside the stones that let mineral laden water seep into the stone ages ago, creating these marvelous pictures so sought after by collectors and admirers. Agate has been popular since ancient times, and to this day, many people believe that it promotes both strength and healing.

You will receive the same quality as you see in my pictures, I always send from the same batch. I will randomly select one strand. As the colour & size can vary slightly, please do not request for one particular strand. You can buy the whole batch to ensure you will get the best ones.
