Tree Agate is a white crystal with green markings. It is an extremely stabilizing stone that can help you to feel safe and secure even in the most challenging situations. It is also said to endow you with the strength to face unpleasant circumstances with poise and self-control, helping you to extract positives from a bad situation. Tree Agate is believed to provide a powerful connection to the nurturing energy of nature. The stone was given its name by Theophrastus, a Greek philosopher and naturalist, who discovered the stone along the shore line of the river Achates, in present-day Sicily, sometime between the 4th and 3rd centuries B.C. Colorful agates and other chalcedonies were obtained over 3,000 years ago from the Achates River, now called Dirillo.
The Tree Agate variety is found primarily in Western U.S., Scotland and Brazil.
