Tree Agate is a variety of chalcedony distinguished by its white to gray base color with green, dendritic inclusions that resemble foliage or moss. At Dakota Stones, we value Tree Agate for its natural, earthy appearance and subtle translucency, making it a versatile choice for organic and nature-inspired jewelry designs. Its relatively good hardness and stability allow for a range of bead shapes and sizes, and it pairs well with both metals and other gemstones.
