As soon as I laid eyes on my very first Moss Agate, I instantly fell in love. These beautiful crystals get their name from the fact that it looks like real-live moss is suspended throughout them.
Being from north Florida, where all of the gorgeous, old live oak trees are dripping with Spanish moss, this stone gives me a feeling of home that I so long for now that I live in the frozen tundra of Central New York. I knew I had to have Moss Agate in my collection and snatched up a lovely pendulum the second I saw it.
With colors ranging from greens to brown/reddish brown, the Moss Agate works mostly with the Heart and Root Chakras.
How do you know which stones to use for healing?
If you have no problem seeing and identifying colors, then you can easily identify which stones to work with for different ailments. Each chakra in the system of seven chakras coordinates with a color or group of colors.
- Red/black/earth tones – Root Chakra
- Orange – Sacral Chakra
- Yellow – Solar Plexus Chakra
- Green – Heart Chakra
- Blue – Throat Chakra
- Indigo – Third Eye Chakra
- Purple/clear – Crown Chakra
As you learn about each chakra and the parts of body and mind that each rule, then you will gain an understanding of where exactly you are out of balance. Once you can identify which chakras are most out of alignment, then you can start working with the coordinating stones.
