Chakras:
Cherry blossom agate is more commonly known as Flower Agate (or the stone people think of when referring to Flower Agate). It is also known in some places as “Sakura Agate, and in others as ‘Quan Yin stone. While Flower agate comes in a variety of colours, cherry blossom has a peachy, pinkish base, complete with white or, at times, pinkish blooms. As with all flower agates, it's a composite chalcedony. It is considered a fairly ‘new’ crystal as deposits were found in Madagascar in 2018. It can also be found in Indonesia, Brazil, the United States and China. It is primarily composed of microcrystalline quartz and has both transparency and opaqueness. It forms in volcanic environments, within the lava flow cavities that trapped gas bubbles during activity. The floral-like inclusions (white) are thought ot be the result of trace elements such as iron, manganese and titanium. To the eye, cherry blossom can appear opaque, with pockets of translucency. You can find it relatively easily for use in the raw, unprocessed state, as cabochons, tumbled stones, and carved stones, including for lapidary and Jewellery work.

Metaphysical Attributes
All the flower agates encourage self-growth and expansion of the levels of awareness, of self, cycles and patterns and the sense of purpose. Cherry blossom is associated with the Divine Feminine and therefore promotes self-acceptance, with the awareness that before we can fully love and accept others, we have to recognise who and what we are, and that our perceptions of flaws are opportunities for growth and development. The recognition that ‘perfection’ is an ideal, and that we are all as individuals perfect right here and right now, travelling the life path in the perfect way for the expansion of our soul. The green flower agate says ‘and so is everyone else - perfect right now and growing and evolving’ and releasing judgement of them. Before we can accept and stop judging others as ‘good or bad’, we have to stop judging ourselves as ‘good or bad’, and Cherry Blossom agate helps us accept ourselves in our current state while recognising areas for growth and improvement and motivating us to create changes that support that growth. For people who have lost their path, it is believed to help you reconnect with your sense of purpose in grounded ways, expanding the mind to find new ideas and opportunities for furthering this growth and achieving your purpose for this lifetime. Everything about Cherry Blossom Agate is soft and gentle yet also inspiring and motivating. It is believed to be associated with the Goddess Quan Yin; women who have experienced abuse within relationships may be drawn to Cherry Blossom Agate. Other associations include the integration of the Maiden/Mother/Crone.

Crystal Care
Due to its rarity, it is popular with both metaphysicians and other crystal collectors as a specimen, ornament, jewellery, or carving for metaphysical use. With a hardness of 6.5-7, Flower agate is fairly durable and can withstand most treatments, including water immersion, and is not believed to contain toxic minerals. As with most crystals, if your flower agate becomes dirty with dust or grime, you can usually safely wash it with tepid water and an organic cleaner, then dry it with a soft cloth. Prolonged exposure to water may destabilise the stone's integrity. You would need to ensure that you don’t place your crystals against those that are harder to ensure that they aren’t scratched, and you would not place your flower agate against softer crystals for the same reasons. If placing in the sun is part of your metaphysical clearing and charging routine, be mindful that the crystal is not overexposed (especially in Australia), as it may fade. Suitable alternatives for clearing and charging your flower agate include smudging with sage, cedar, juniper or palo santo (or other cleansing and purifying herbs and aromatherapy oils), sound healing (with tuning forks, crystal or Tibetan bowls and bells, sound drumming), energy healing, or placing it on another crystal with clearing and cleansing attributes, such as a selenite charging plate. Earthing by placing it outside in a sheltered part of the garden is also a suitable method of cleansing and recharging; a good strategy could be to place it in a ceramic potted plant and expose it to moonlight or filtered sunlight for a few hours or overnight for ‘gentle cleansing’. Earthing allows the stone energy to reconnect with the natural energy of “Mother Earth’ and reinvigorate and revitalise crystals that have become ‘drained’. Other methods for cleansing, clearing, and charging your crystals can include visualisation (seeing a bright, pure white light surrounding the crystal and clearing it of any negative energies to restore it to its natural energetic state) or using healing modalities such as reiki to cleanse and recharge it.
