A selection of moss agate jewellery comprised of two strings of graduated moss agate beads, a pair of stud earrings, two rings and two pendants.
We are pleased to be offering this lot from the stock of family run firm Shipton and Co., who were based in Hastings White Rock area, and who were unfortunately forced to close their doors in 2014 after a section of the rock face above collapsed onto their shop, making the building unsafe. Although strictly not a true agate because it does not have the typical layering or banding characteristic, moss agate instead features a white or translucent ground with green, orange, brown and black inclusions reminiscent of moss, hence the name. Found in several locations the world over it is believed by some to encourage a sense of tranquility and emotional balance promoting calm and helping draw us closer to nature. The gemstone has also been known as "Mocha stone" after being found in the Arabian city of Mocha in Yemen.
