M.F. Christensen question

[budwas]

 In the realm of M.F. Christensen.  

Is there a difference between a green brick and a moss agate? Or one and the same? What I read is confusing. If different, maybe someone has pictures that could help clear the fog. 

thanks

Not the same thing...green bricks if you can find a spot to backlight them show a deep transparent olive green color but otherwise appear black.  This is difficult to do in hand so I'm not really sure how you'd photograph it.  Moss agate is a more cloudy pale green/blue translucent to opaque and are much much rarer.

Thank you slagmarble!  Much appreciated.

Not sure if you are talking about a different "moss agate".  Here is picture of what are Akro MOss Agates and they are pretty common.

I was asking about the difference between MF Christensen moss agates and green bricks.

Both are very cool! I sure would like to find a couple of each. Lol

Thanks Steph
