Tree Jasper and Sakura Flower Agate Mini Turtle Carvings

Jasper and agate are cousins, in that both are chalcedony-based stones. Whereas agate is translucent, Jasper is opaque. Tree Jasper has a lot of similarities to Moss Agate for that reason.
Also called "Sakura Agate" or "Cherry Blossom Agate" due to its beautiful cherry-blossom-like plumes, Flower Agate is a recent find in the crystal world, discovered in 2018 in Madagascar.
Although most commonly associated with pink, flower agate can also be found in shades of red, brown, green, and even blue with white formations.
As the agate was formed, the quartz from the water that had seeped into another stone began to coalesce around inclusions of manganese oxide or iron oxide, producing the unusual patterns found in flower agate.

Tree Jasper is related to moss agate, and much like moss agate, specifically in its grounding properties. It is a supportive stone of courage and empowerment in the midst of chaos.
Flower agate, much like many other pink-red hued stones, is a symbol of love. For flower agate, that's specifically friendship and self-love, as flower agate is said to promote self confidence, growth, and comfort within oneself.

Photography

Although we always strive to provide clear, accurate images of our crystals and other products, we photograph under professional lighting, which is meant to mimic sunlight. If you get your crystal and think it looks a little different under low or artificial light, try checking it out again in sunlight!

Our crystals are one-of-a-kind art, created by nature.

No two pieces are the same, and there is no such thing as "perfection" in nature.

When it comes to our hand-carved items, remember that artists work with and around imperfections, druzy pockets, and other natural variations to bring each carving out of a piece of natural stone.

We consider these imperfections to be one of the most wonderful parts of crystal collecting, and we invite you to embrace each carving's uniqueness!

We will always try to portray each piece honestly, so be sure to look closely at our images and videos to ensure you know what to expect.
