It has been called the gardener's stone for centuries, and in crystal traditions it is tied to growth, grounding and new beginnings.

The leverback itself is pavé-set with a line of small round simulated diamonds, so the sparkle carries all the way up to the ear.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWe label these plainly: the moss agate is natural and untreated, and the clear stones are cubic zirconia, not diamond and not moissanite.
