Tree Agate

𝐓𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐀𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐞

HISTORY AND MYTHOLOGY

Tree agate is quite coarse and knobbly even when polished. In earlier times, the white form of dendritic agate (really dendritic chalcedony) was called tree agate. Moss agate is very similar in mineralogical terms but tree agate is more translucent and the markings more feathery. Tree agate (or possibly dendritic agate) was considered a stone of abundance by the Ancient Greeks, and was buried in the fields at the time of sowing to ensure a good harvest. It was also much loved by Native Americans, who used it to help them connect with the power of the trees.

DIVINATORY SIGNIFICANCE

Go back to the roots of any problem or situation and you will find the answer. A good time for family reunions, especially with people you have not contacted for a while, and for strengthening friendship and connections in your neighborhood.

HEALING AND THE ENVIRONMENT

Tree agate relieves small bone, vein and capillary problems and obstructions within the body. It is very good for calming people who worry about their health. Use it in empowerments and rituals for reforestation.

Tree agate strengthens family roots, links with places of origin and maintains family traditions. At work, it leads to gradual success and prosperity and helps networking. It protects you while traveling by air and car.
