A small tree with shiny black leaves, discreet and graphic. A little gift, a good-luck charm for your desk or a collector's item; sold in its clear box.
Available as Resin base or Wooden base: choose above.
Each tree is assembled by hand: the chips, the shape of the branches and the decoration of the base vary slightly from one piece to the next; the photo shows an example from the series.
What this item is made of
A miniature tree made of 15 chips of black agate mounted on metal wire, set on a resin base mixed with stone chips or on a wood slice (your choice, see the option). Chalcedony in a black shade. Commercially sold black agate is almost always chalcedony dyed black: the stone is natural, its colour is not.
Tracked parcel. Free on orders of €49 or more up to 5 kg, otherwise €5.99 to €19.99 depending on the weight of the order. Learn more

How to use it
To place on a chest of drawers, a desk, a shelf or an altar. The branches bend by hand to give the shape you prefer. Several trees side by side make a little forest. A simple gift idea that needs neither water nor light. Fragile piece with small chips: keep out of reach of young children. Comes in a clear plastic box, which can be kept as a display box.
Care
Dust with a soft brush or a puff of cool air. Do not immerse the tree or run it under water: the wire may bend out of shape, the chips may come loose and the base may become dull. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight and knocks. The branches bend gently by hand; do not twist them repeatedly, as the wire would break.
Nature of the stone and photos
A natural stone is unique: its colour, veining, inclusions and size vary from one piece to another. The photos are a guide only.
Some commercially sold stones are heated, dyed or stabilised with resin. Where this is the case, it is stated on the product page. If in doubt, write to us before buying.

Symbolism and tradition
Black agate is associated in tradition with grounding and quiet strength. In many cultures, the tree is a symbol of life, growth and the link between earth and sky; placing a small stone tree in your home is above all a decorative and symbolic gesture.
This symbolism is a matter of tradition. It is neither a promise of results nor medical advice.
