• Moss Agate (also known as Tree Agate) is one of the most popular types of Agate, and makes a great companion piece to Orca Agate (Ocean Agate) due to their shared connections with nature: these Agate Stones have contrasting natural elemental energies, for Moss Agate (Tree Agate) is an Earth Element Crystal whilst Orca Agate (Ocean Agate) is a Water Element Crystal

• Cherry Blossom Agate (also known as Flower Agate) is one of the most popular types of Agate with its stunning colours and unique patterns resembling Cherry Blossom Flowers, and makes a great companion piece to Orca Agate (Ocean Agate) for many of the same reasons Moss Agate (Tree Agate) does, as well as for the enhancement of the calming energies exuded by Orca Agate (Ocean Agate)

• Banded Agate stuns with striking swirls, curves, and whorls amidst a storm of bright red, orange, and black colours that embody elemental Fire Energy, and thus its aesthetic contrasts beautifully against the blue-grey and white ocean-like hues of Moss Agate (Tree Agate), whilst also making a great spiritual contrast to the elemental Water Energy of Orca Agate (Ocean Agate)
