Moss Agate and Tree Agate are beautiful forms of quartz chalcedony that have tree or fern like inclusions or dendrites which give the names. The base of Tree Agate is white Quartz; the base of Moss Agate is clear Quartz, but there is often some overlap, with some stones having areas of both white and clear. The dendrites are mainly green and created by the inclusion of various metals. There is no organic matter in the stone.

Both varieties bring a wonderful healing energy, which is quite slow and gentle, but deep acting. They combine spirituality with the natural physical world, connecting and balancing above and below, an also left and right, within our being.  They remind us that we are Nature herself – Life expressing herself through each and every one of us – and can thus support us to remember our true spiritual Beingness. In doing so, and thus understanding our place in the world, we can step away from ego, become more grounded in our lives and more healthy on all levels, with stronger immune systems and better relationships with ourselves and others. and I absolutely love this stone, and fully appreciate her beauty and magic.

Through the doctrine of signatures, these stones have been considered to help with nervous system disorders. They have also been used for healing plants and supporting gardening.
