As crystal expert and founder of Goldirocks Yulia Van Doren tells mbg, moss agate is actually technically not agate. “True agates have bands of colors, and moss agate does not—but moss agate is the accepted name for this translucent, mossy-green variety of chalcedony. It commonly has inclusions of brown and black coloring in addition to green,” she says. As crystal expert Heather Askinosie previously told mbg, if you’re using your moss agate for gardening or connecting with nature, green aventurine and clear quartz are good additions. McGary adds tree agate, citrine, and malachite are also other good crystals to include when using moss agate in your garden. In terms of chakra healing, some other crystals that are good for the heart chakra include rose quartz, peridot, and green jade. The root chakra, on the other hand, is supported by stones like red jasper, bloodstone, and smoky quartz. In addition to that, you could leave your moss agate under the light of the daytime sun, or a full moon, for an energetic cleanse and charge. Other options include using sound, smoke or even your own breath to clear your crystal. Here’s our full guide to cleansing and charging crystals for more inspiration.
