History and folklore
Moss agate is not a true agate, since it lacks banding, but it is a form of chalcedony with green mineral threads that look like moss or tiny trees. Traditionally, farmers in Europe hung moss agate on their oxen's horns or buried it in fields to bless their crops. That old link to gardens and harvest gives it the folk name gardener's stone. Modern witches use it for growth, abundance, and a gentle reconnection with the natural world.
