Crystal trees
Crystal trees, sometimes called gemstone tree gardens, bring polished chipstones and delicate wire branches together in a mango wood base. Choose amethyst, rose quartz, green aventurine or seven chakra for a small, pretty focal point on a shelf or altar.
How to choose a crystal tree
Start with the stone. Amethyst is a favourite for bedrooms and quiet corners, rose quartz is traditionally associated with love and self-kindness, and green aventurine is often chosen as a lucky stone for work spaces. Seven chakra trees bring a rainbow of stones together in one piece.
Next, look at the base. Our Gemstone Tree Garden pieces come in a mango wood ring or an open ring, each holding around 60 chipstones on the branches. The open ring has a lighter, more airy look, while the closed ring feels a little more solid on a windowsill.
What is a crystal tree used for?
Many people keep one as a gentle decorative reminder of an intention, much like a small altar piece. In folklore the tree has long stood for growth, shelter and connection, so a crystal tree makes a thoughtful gift for a new home, a new job or a fresh start.
If you are building a wider display, pair it with a tumble stone or two, or a crystal sphere for contrast. Browse the crystal meanings guide if you are not sure which stone suits you.
Caring for your crystal tree
Dust the branches gently with a soft dry brush or cloth. Keep the tree out of damp rooms and avoid bending the wire too far, as the branches are fine. Placing it away from constant direct sunlight will help the stones keep their colour, and a small dish beneath it catches any stray chips.
