The agates are old workhorse stones, carried and carved for steadiness and staying power since the ancient world, and tree agate wears that character in its most patient register. Its folk reputation is a gardener's one: a stone tucked into pots and planting beds, kept for growth in both the literal and the figurative sense, the projects and plants that come along slowly and need tending rather than forcing. We leave the formal correspondence fields blank for this variety rather than borrow entries it does not have, and let the agate family's general reputation carry the work. A pound suits how the stone is actually used: one for each planter, a ring for a growth working, a pocketful through a season of slow progress.

1. Cleanse them on arrival with smoke, sound, or moonlight.
2. Tuck one into a planter or garden bed as the tradition's original use.
3. Ring a candle or grid for a project that needs patience more than speed.
4. Carry one through a season of slow growth as a pocket reminder that roots come first.
5. Keep a bowl among the houseplants, where the stone looks most at home.

• White Selenite Wand: a cleansing rest between workings.
• White Sage Smudge Stick: the arrival cleanse for a bag of stone.

Are the green branches real plants?

No. The dendrites are mineral inclusions, usually chlorite or hornblende, that grew in branching patterns inside the chalcedony. They look botanical; they are geological.

What is tree agate kept for?

Growth, patience, and steadiness, in folk and modern practice. It is the gardeners' agate, tucked into pots and carried through slow seasons.

Is it the same as moss agate?

Close cousins. Moss agate is translucent with mossy green wisps; tree agate is opaque white with sharper branching dendrites. Both belong to the same green chalcedony family.

How many stones come in a pound?

It varies, since the bag is sold by weight in mixed sizes. Expect a generous handful with every pattern different.

How do I care for them?

Easily. Agate is durable: smoke, sound, or moonlight to cleanse, and it shrugs off garden duty better than most stones.
