Gemstone Tree - Wire-Wrapped Chips on a Stone Base, 11 cm

Includes a free digital stone guide. No booklet in the box – we publish it instead, so it is longer than anything that would fit on a card and you can read it before you buy: our guide to buying a crystal as a gift.

A small tree with hundreds of tumbled stone chips wired onto copper branches, standing on a polished slice of the same stone. It is 11 cm tall and about 5.5 cm across – roughly the footprint of a coffee cup.

The branches bend. That is the point: you shape it once when it arrives and it holds, so no two end up quite the same even within one colour.

Who this is for

• You want colour on a shelf or desk without it being a single blunt lump of stone
• You like the idea of arranging something rather than just placing it
• You are buying a gift and want something that reads as considered at a glance

Who this is not for

• You want a solid specimen. This is made of chips, not one piece of stone. If you want a single crystal, the Raw Amethyst Cluster is the right product.
• You want it dust-free. Hundreds of small chips on wire collect dust and are fiddly to clean – a soft brush, not a cloth.
• You have small children or a cat. The chips are wired on individually and a determined hand can work one loose.
• You want it bigger. 11 cm is the only size we stock. The larger trees weigh three times as much and the freight stops making sense.

What you get

• One gemstone tree, 11 cm tall, approximately 5.5 cm across, in the colour you choose
• A polished stone base, cut from the same material
• Foam wrapped and boxed. No gift packaging

Details

• Natural tumbled stone chips on copper-coloured wire, stone slice base
• 11 cm tall, approx. 5.5 cm wide, approx. 168 g
• Branches are bendable and hold their shape; shape it once rather than repeatedly
• Dust with a dry soft brush. Keep amethyst and rose quartz out of prolonged direct sun – both fade
• Decorative object. We make no claims about health, luck, wealth or energy

FAQ

How big is it really?

11 cm tall and about 5.5 cm across - roughly the footprint of a coffee cup. It weighs about 168 g.

Is it one piece of stone?

No. It is hundreds of small tumbled chips wired onto branches, on a base cut from the same stone. If you want a single solid piece, buy a cluster instead.

Can I bend the branches?

Yes, and they hold their shape. Shape it once when it arrives rather than adjusting it repeatedly - the wire will fatigue eventually.

How do I clean it?

A dry soft brush. A cloth catches on the chips and can pull them loose.

Will the colour fade?

Amethyst and rose quartz both fade in prolonged direct sun. Citrine and green aventurine are more stable. Keep it off a sunny windowsill either way.

Is this a money tree?

It is sold that way by many sellers. We make no claims about wealth, luck or energy - it is a decorative object.
