Among some of the names for moss agate in the world is (agate, mocha stone, or mocha). This name from the Latin language was given in the past to this type of Yemeni and non-Yemeni agate stone in the world. Through searching for the reason for the name, we found it on many sites, including: Wikipedia This stone is named after the city of Mokha (MOCA). Mokha (Moca) is an ancient Yemeni port located on the western coast of Yemen, which currently belongs to the Yemeni governorate of Taiz. Mokha is an ancient Yemeni port famous for exporting Yemeni coffee to all countries of the world until its name became the name of a type of coffee in the international markets called (Moka (Moca) Coffee). Because Yemeni Agate (onyx)was exported through Mokha port, the Mokha stone or agate was named after Mokha port.
