You tip them onto the white tray, spread them with the tweezers, and turn each one to find the face you want. Hold one up and the light passes through the pale body until it catches on a dark green thread, then another, until the whole teardrop reads like a branch pressed under glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is natural moss agate, listed by the supplier as water grass agate. The outline is a pear teardrop, pointed at one end and full at the other. The crown is faceted, not domed, so flat planes meet across the top and throw small bright flashes as you rotate the stone. The body is translucent grey green, and the dark dendritic markings run through it at different depths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFaceted pear crown\u003c\/strong\u003e Flat planes across the top return light instead of the soft single glow of a domed cabochon.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNo two alike\u003c\/strong\u003e The dendritic pattern differs in every stone, from dense thicket to two or three fine branches across an open pale field.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFive calibrated sizes\u003c\/strong\u003e 4x6mm, 5x7mm, 6x8mm, 7x9mm and 8x10mm, to match a bezel or claw setting you already have.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree clarity grades\u003c\/strong\u003e AA, A and A- let you spend where it shows and save where it does not, across a run of pieces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLoose and ready to set\u003c\/strong\u003e The stone arrives bare and polished, with nothing to remove before it goes into your setting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jewelry makers cutting their own bezels, silversmiths building a one off ring, and anyone assembling pendants or stacking rings at a home bench who wants a green stone with a pattern rather than a flat colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy It Works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMoss agate is a chalcedony, and the green threads inside are mineral inclusions rather than anything that ever grew. That is why it suits a setting: the pattern is locked in the stone, it will not fade or shift, and it sits under a polished surface with no coating. Because the sizes are calibrated in millimetres, a 6x8mm pear drops into a 6x8mm pear bezel without recutting, and the faceted crown gives a claw something positive to sit against.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuick Product Facts:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural moss agate, also listed as water grass agate; pear teardrop outline with a faceted crown; green, translucent grey green body with darker green dendrites; sizes 4x6mm, 5x7mm, 6x8mm, 7x9mm, 8x10mm; clarity grades AA highest, A medium, A- standard; polished surface; one bare stone per order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow It Fits Your Routine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou start with the setting in mind. A 4x6mm or 5x7mm pear sits neatly in a slim stacking ring where the stone reads as a detail. Step up to 7x9mm or 8x10mm and the pear becomes the whole point of the piece, with enough open field for the pattern to be legible at arm's length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a pendant, the point of the pear gives the bail a natural place to sit, so the branches hang the way they run in the stone. Order one grade up when the stone will be worn at the throat and read close, and drop to A- when a claw will cover part of the crown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep the stones in the paper or a small tin, apart from harder gems, until the setting is ready. Wipe with a dry soft cloth before you close a bezel, since a fingerprint under the stone is much harder to reach afterwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs there real moss inside the stone?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. The green branching marks are mineral inclusions, called dendrites. Nothing organic is trapped in the agate, the pattern only looks like plant growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this a smooth cabochon or a faceted stone?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is faceted. The crown has flat planes that meet across the top, and the outline is a pear teardrop. It is not a domed cabochon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat do AA, A and A- mean?\u003c\/strong\u003e They are the clarity grades listed for this stone. AA is the highest, A is medium and A- is the standard grade. The size stays the same across all three.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many stones come in one order?\u003c\/strong\u003e One bare agate stone per order, in the size and grade you select. Since the pattern is natural, the stone you receive will not match the photos mark for mark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width: 100%; overflow-x: auto; -webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch;\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"border-collapse: collapse;
