Mystery Moss Agate Slab - Black Moss Beauty - Pre-1940s Old Stock
This pre-1940s old stock slab of Mystery Moss Agate came from a collection that was entirely collected and worked prior to the 1940s. The exact origin is unknown, but this black moss agate is truly a beauty. It is polished on one side and had a small white square of foam - likely padding - on one side from long-term storage. This is a neat piece of rockhounding history, and the stone is so old it could easily be considered an antique.
