Dusty, cool grey agate flecked with mossy inclusions, like forest floor in winter.
Moss Agate is a cool grey, close to green.
It can be described as cool, muted, greyish and dusty.
Set in black, because black reads best on it.
Moss agate is a semi-precious gemstone formed from silicon dioxide. It is a form of chalcedony which includes minerals of a green color embedded in the stone, forming filaments and other patterns suggestive of moss. The field is a clear or milky-white quartz, and the included minerals are mainly oxides of manganese or iron. It is not a true form of agate, because it does not have concentric banding.
Read on WikipediaMosses are small, non-vascular flowerless plants in the taxonomic division Bryophyta sensu stricto. Bryophyta sensu lato may also refer to the parent group, bryophytes, which comprises liverworts, mosses, and hornworts. Mosses typically form dense green clumps or mats, often in damp or shady locations. The individual plants are usually composed of simple leaves that are generally only one cell thick, attached to a stem that may be branched or unbranched and has only a limited role in conducting water and nutrients. Although some species have conducting tissues, these are generally poorly developed and structurally different from similar tissue found in vascular plants. Mosses do not have seeds and after fertilisation develop sporophytes with unbranched stalks topped with single capsules containing spores. They are typically 0.2–10 cm (0.1–3.9 in) tall, though some species are much larger. Dawsonia superba, the tallest moss in the world, can grow to 60 cm (24 in) in height. There are approximately 12,000 species.
Read on WikipediaAgate is a banded variety of fibrous chalcedony. Agate stones are characterized by alternating bands of different colored chalcedony and often contain some visible quartz crystals. They are common in nature and can be found globally in a large number of different varieties. Most agates are concentrically banded, while some have bands that form parallel lines. Certain varieties of chalcedony without bands are commonly called agate, but these are not true agates. Moreover, not every banded chalcedony is an agate.
