The alternate name refers to the ancient source of the gemstone, the Yemeni city of Mocha in Arabia. However, there is some debate over whether these names for gemstones can be used interchangeably. Some people contend that only certain types of montana moss agate with brown or red hue should be called mocha stone. Like other precious stones, moss agate has been worn as jewellery for a very long time. Moss agate was revered as a medicinal stone in several prehistoric societies. Moss agate was commonly recognised as a lucky stone in Britain in the late 18th century. Moss agate was also considered a stone of agriculture by farmers and gardeners because of the inclusions that resembled moss or ferns. According to legend, European farmers once hung montana moss agate from trees and wrapped it around the horns of oxen while plowin' to promote fruitful crops. Montana Moss Agate Metaphysical Properties It's hardly surprising that the perceived metaphysical qualities of moss agate are affected by the stone's plant-like appearance. According to legend, moss agate promotes serenity and emotional equilibrium. When masculine and feminine energies become too severe, moss agate is the ideal stone for the person who is experiencing overwhelming anger or excessively nurturing feelings. The calming vibe of moss agate helps bring us closer to nature as well, and can bring a sense of focus or patience when we need to disconnect from the chaos of modern society. Montana Moss agate and mocha stone are also associated with budding friendships. It's suggested to wear this gemstone when meeting new people to draw them in and foster new relationships. This no doubt helps explain why moss agate is associated with the zodiac sign Aquarius, supposedly one of the more social signs that highly values friendship. Moss agate is also associated with the sign of Virgo by bringing these typically analytical minds some much-appreciated calmness.
