The markings on the Tree Agate crystal resemble the branches of a tree, some even compare them to veins in the body. This stone is used for all sorts of Nature and Tree magic, and some suggest placing Tree Agate stones in the garden or in plant pots to encourage healthy growth. This is truly a stone of growth and connection. As with all crystals and stones, the powers of the Tree Agate are activated by energy, intention and vibration.

Due to it’s branch-like appearance, it is often used in rituals to connect with ancestors (the “family tree”), to channel tree wisdom, or to promote the healing of veins and cell growth in the human body. Meditating with the Tree Agate can remind us of our connection to Nature, to each other and to our place of origin. Those who practice Shamanism or meditative journey work with World Tree imagery will also find this stone helpful. The Tree Agate stone can be used in Celtic or Druid magic, due to the importance of Trees and Nature in Celtic lore and the Druid tradition. It can be used in magic to discover the root of a problem or situation in order to find an answer. It can be used for Tree Divination or with Ogham staves.

The Tree Agate stone can be used to strengthen bonds between friends and family, and to connect with neighbors or people you rarely get to see. When used for healing, Tree Agate is calming and receptive, and helps to relieve small bone and vein problems. It can be worn to encourage fertility and prosperity. Folk magicians suggest wearing Tree Agate to relieve a stiff neck and to increase physical energy. Tree Agate is associated with the astrological sign of Gemini and the element of Air. It is linked to both planets Mercury and Earth. In the Chakra system, Tree Agate works well with both the Crown and Heart chakras. When using the Tree Agate in ritual magic, use Cedar and Pine incense, oils or the bark from any tree you feel a close connection to. Place tree branches on your altar, along with pictures of trees or a small sapling in a pot if you have room. This stone can be used in any kind of magic for growth and expansion.

I happen to like the Tree Agate “pillow” (named this because it is flat and polished, and lays flat in the hand). Many different kinds of crystals and stones are available in pillow form. They are a bit more costly at around $12 each, but I find them to be very practical and easy to work with.

Tree Agate crystals are widely available online at websites such as AzureGreen and even Amazon. Purchase a few and make them part of your regular magical practice.
