Autumn Equinox Gems - Moss Agate

Favourite gemstones of the Autumn equinox period.

The Autumn Equinox signifies the moment when the Sun appears to cross the celestial equator. This marks the end of the astronomical summer and beginning of the astronomical autumn in the Northern Hemisphere, and the end of the astronomical winter and start of the astronomical spring in the Southern Hemisphere.

The word “equinox” comes from Latin aequus, meaning “equal,” and nox, “night.”

This week we are focusing on carnelian, citrine, moss agate, smoky quartz and sunstone.

Today we are highlighting Moss Agate.
