Tree Agate
This beautiful green and white stone has long been seen as having a deep connection to nature and was therefore viewed as the stone of plentitude by many civilizations. The ancient Greeks associated tree agate with dryads and the stone was sometimes buried in agricultural fields to promote a plentiful harvest.
The history of colorful agates and other chalcedonies is as long as 3000 years ago when they were discovered from the Achates River which is now known as Dirillo
The name agate itself harkens back to antiquity and the Achates River in Sicily where agates are thought to have been found. At least 3000 years ago, the Egyptians were making seals, rings and vessels from agate stones. Agate was not just a decorative stone and was long used as talismans in Egypt, Greece and India.
. Another interesting fact is that a Greek philosopher and naturalist, who was the discoverer of the tree agate named it when he discovered the stone along the shore line of Achates somewhere between the third and fourth centuries BC.
