What are the physical properties of pink moss agate?

This variety of moss agate can help relieve nausea and aid digestion by improving bowel movements and gut flora.

It is also effective for diarrhea, constipation, and various digestive problems. Ideally, it should be placed directly on the stomach against the skin (it can be secured with a bandage so it can be worn throughout the day).

How do I use it?

• When you're dealing with difficult emotions—when you feel a tightness in your chest—place this stone on your heart or wear it as a pendant.
• If you feel a knot in your stomach after something that made you angry or sad, try doing a relaxation exercise with your pink moss agate placed on your stomach.
• It's best to wear this stone directly against your skin every day for long periods of time. It sometimes takes a while for its effects to become lasting.

Pink Moss Agate in Mineralogy

Pink moss agate is a silicon oxide belonging to the chalcedony family; it forms in a similar way to green moss agate, through the gradual drying of silicic acid released by the soil and rocks. The difference is that the silicic acid must contain oxidizing compounds in addition to manganese or iron to create oxides that are pink, brown-pink, or pink-orange in color.

Its appearance is quite surprising, as this stone seems to contain a multitude of apricot-colored “bubbles” of various sizes (oxidized iron and magnesium silicate) that resemble hundreds of tiny maggots.
