Tree of Life Agate Slice Necklace - Bermuda

The symbols of the tree of life are all aspects of the tree itself and what those elements mean.

- The trunk and roots are the anchoring image of the Tree of Life. The solis trunk is a symbol of strength, a place we can always return and remember what we are made of, while the roots remind us not only where we originate but also imply that our actions in this life have deep meaning, even if we cannot see it right away.

- The branches reaching outwards represent our human need for expression - in arts, science and spirituality among other outlets. In this way, the Tree of Life is also symbolic of our potential to improve and expand our notions of the human condition through compassionate action (literally reaching out our hands and arms).

- The individual leaves depicted on the Tree of Life represent the uniqueness of all earthly creations, including ourselves. Like the leaves of a tree we are all different shapes, colors and textures, yet the Tree of Life reminds us that we can coexist peacefully.
