How to choose a good moss agate necklace <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s a set of criteria to consider when choosing a good moss agate necklace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inclusions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Moss agate always has inclusions<\/a>, usually green and leaf-like. Check the stone for such pretty inclusions to confirm it’s a genuine moss agate. Some other agates (not moss agate) come in semi-translucent shades of red, blue, or gray<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hardness<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Real moss agate has a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale (1-10), so you can’t scratch it easily, not even with a knife. Confirm the gemstone\u2019s harness by scratching across its surface with a hardness pick. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weight<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Moss agate is usually heavier than it looks. If possible, feel the weight of the necklace’s stone. If it’s light, it’s not genuine moss agate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Necklace chain<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Moss agate goes with most metal colors, so your necklace chain will depend on your preferences. Choosing a chain made with durable metals like sterling silver, stainless steel, and gold is best. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
