Tree agate is also known as dendritic agate. Dendrites are crystal inclusions that develop in foliage or tree branch-like patterns. In tree agate, these dendrites create a beautiful green dappling effect on a white base. 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 lovely tree agate beads in this jewelry set have a matte finish and are complimented with smaller white quartz beads. The necklace is about 20" long. Sterling silver filled wire is sculpted around a larger tree agate cabochon. The pendant is about 2" long. The earrings are single drops of tree agate and quartz beads dangling from a French hook ear wire. The earrings are about 1" long. All attempts have been made to photograph these items correctly in the natural light. However, colors can/do vary with everyone's individual monitors.
