Moss agate is sourced from USA, Australia, India. Comes in varied colors of green, blue, red, yellow and brown. Its easily available.
Color: Agate comes in most colors. Agates range from transparent to opaque in a variety of beautiful colors. It presents various tints in the same specimen. The stones can be artificially stained to produce combinations of color more vivid than those found in the natural state.
