I am looking to purchase moss agate like this stuff that rockfrog has recently posted (see pics below). I've bought moss agate from a variety of vendors and none of it is this variety. If anyone has any to sell, or knows where I can get it please let me know. Cheers, Dillon.   |

Looks like it could be Indian moss agate. Should be easy enough to find.

Thanks for posting the link. It does say "India" moss agate...so rockjunquie nailed it! |

Thanks rockjunquie jasoninsd rockfrogAll the India moss agate I've gotten is a white base rock with green formations - not that cool looking clear stuff with the fine green tendrils. I suppose I am just getting poor quality? |

I suppose I am just getting poor quality? I might be wrong...but I think there's a difference between "India Green Moss Agate" and "India Green Tree Moss Agate". I believe the Tree Moss Agate is the one with the white base rock. |

jasoninsd Yes, I've been internet browsing now and you are right - With the "tree" in there it's more of a white base stone.

I purchased the green moss/tree agate tumbling roughs from rockshed, and it seems to me almost half of them are clear with green. The clear with green pieces after polished are like this:   The green mosses are where the undercuts and tiny fractures usually happen, and I could not completely get rid of the white polish residue out of the undercut sponge area. |

Oh - That first one looks great. I can see in the second pic how they can be a bit tricky. They look really cool! |
