Crystal System...

Moss Agate has a trigonal crystal system and is in the mineral class of oxides in the quartz group. It's coloring is green to almost clear sometimes, with mossy looking inclusions. During the formation of Quartz, while it was still in a thick liquid state, manganese or green iron silicates flowed through it and deposited themselves forming patterns that seem to resemble plant structures. Occasionally you may even find one with red, orange or golden brown steaks through it, but not often. 

Scientifically this one is in reality a Chalcedony, but since the name of Dendridic Quartz is already used as a synonym for fossilized wood it would seem we are stuck with the old name. It can be found in several areas of the United States, as well as in Australia and India.
